CDM1NT's

[LikeCoiledSteel]

Hi Guys,
I just picked up a set of CDM1NT's for surround duty. I have not hooked them up yet but plan to use an Adcom 535 (60w x2) to power them. I am curious if anyone else uses an amp like this with these 1nt's and if they will be enough to bring them to life. The Adcom has been found to put out 78 watts/channel in testing. Do you think an upgrade is need? Thanks.

Thanks

HI UCLA,
I am using CDM7NT's for F/R and a CDMCNT as center. I have a 250 watt Krell for the 7's and an Outlaw 200 watt monoblock for the CNT.

The 1NT's aren't really efficient speakers, so I think an upgrade might be an order. I have had a set of CDM1NT's and they're wonderful speakers but are picky about there amplication in my opinion. I had them powered by a RB-1080 and they sounded wonderful. The 1NT's if I remember correctly are 120w rms. I would recommend something at least 100w per channel and has a good high current transformer in it.
