Anyway...
I recently completed a set of DIY speakers (thread HERE) that, for the first time, I feel need separate amplification. They are still over a friend's house being broken in and fed some Rotel goodness. From experimentation it seems that these are somewhat inefficient and LOVE moar power. I would say 100W would be the are minimum. I understand (not heard by me) that they loved a modified Rotel RB1090 pushing 384W.
The last time I heard them they needed to be broken in. But it was apparent that they needed some upper end sparkle help. Hopefully, the break in period will help this. However, I still think a brighter sounding amp will help in this regard. So.....no tube amp recommendations this time. lol
So, if you had $500 what would you buy (used is fine by me) for this setup? I didn't really want to go higher but will entertain "must have" recommendations up to $700.
I was thinking about Rotel, Emotiva, Carver, Adcom, etc. What do you all think?
