Hi Everyone!
I don't have any audio gear at the moment. Just my B&W N805's and Velodyne sub (and music server which is useless without audio gear). Since I moved I've been wanting to buy brand new pre, amp, cd/dvd, but I keep procrastinating and buying other stuff.
So... for the time being, I want some kind of amp so I can use my 805/Velodyne combo. Maybe a little Christmas gift. :B Marantz and Denon have some nice little intergrated amps here in Japan that are 50 watts and just about $300. I know the minimal required power is 50 watts. Has anyone ever tried using their 805's with just the minimal requirement? Then I could connect my Oppo player and music server to it.
I don't really want to spend more than $350-400. It's just for now. Currently, the only means I have of listening to music is through my B&W M1's powered by a little 30 watt Panasonic micro stereo in my bedroom. It gets the job done. I figure next month or so I'll buy my HT gear, and then I can move the intergrated amp to the bedroom to power the M1's.
Does anyone have any experience using 805's with just 50 watts? Or any idea/recommendation?
