Hello and thanks for your responses. I have since read every word I could find here from Teajay and Peter and the rest, great stuff guys.
Now if only I could find somewhere in this bloody universe the sensitivity rating of my speakers I might be able to make a final decision between the XA30.5, XA60.5s, or XA100.5s, the last being something I cannot afford but might be able to if I chilled a bit on the number of drinks I have in this new year.
Okay, please don't laugh at the slow kid but my beloved speakers are currently Miller and Kreisel's S-5000THXs. I love them.
Anyone happen to know the sensitivity of these speakers? Any recommendations on which Pass amp to match up?
Tiny room, Norah Jones SACD, Fleetwood Mac SACD, Dvorak multi-channel SACD, Mozart flute, Bach cello 3channel, Muddy Waters, Sam McClain, Miles, classic rock, rap and hip hop on occasion. Mostly mid-volume play, VERY loud play three Sundays per month. Speakers roughly 6' 2" from my nose. Three different sized Velodyne subs (incl. 18") cross-overed at different frequencies.
Also used in 7.1 blu-ray setup, all MK Sound speakers, all other channels driven by used Mark Levinsons. I want to upgrade and love love my 2ch.
Suggestions please?
Many thx
