olds1959special Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) I usually listen at moderate volumes but sometimes like to crank it a little. I'm wondering if a Rega Brio will be sufficient. Edited March 26 by olds1959special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmz Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) I’ll assume you are looking at 100W 4-ohm Class-D amp that really is only 50W into 8-ohms? I run 44/88W with the tube. 44W is Triode, and 88W is ultralinear. ^It is good.^ But do the other members of your household ask you to turn it down often? That can be a clue as to whether you want to be at the low end or high end of the recommended power. It is certainly best of you were to find a second hand 2W sub and the HPF as the amp then see less power as the low notes take a lot of power… and it makes the amp seem twice as powerful with the sub attached. Or just get a brand new sub. Edited March 26 by Holmz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratocaster Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 It’s one thing to be able to play loud and another for the speakers to sound great as you turn the volume up. If 50 watts is all you can afford then it’s case closed but I would look at at least a decent strong 100w/ch if you want to really discover what the speakers are capable of. As a lot of other folks have recommended- Ayre, Mccormack, Aesthetix pair really well with Vandersteen’s. There are some great deals on USAM for these brands that you should consider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
