What's a good stereo amplifier for a couple of good bookshelf speakers and sub?
    #17458810 - 12/27/12 11:42 PM (11 years, 1 month ago)

Say, about 50~100w a channel.  Don't want to spend a lot, I will upgrade later.  I will mate it with 2 klipsch bookshelf speakers and a sub.  I have big klipsch subs and floor standings, but they are back home in New Mexico, so I cant use them.  Any ideas?

What's the audio source?

Generally, if your audio source isn't that great, and you're going to use some relatively cheap speakers, look for a receiver for $10-50 at a garage sale or off ebay. :shrug:

CD or wave files, and Klipsch Reference Bookshelf speakers aren't exactly low quality, cheap speakers.

Peachtree Nova125

Great price:performance ratio, with a great built-in DAC.  VERY easy to upgrade, USB inputs w/ iDevice functionality.  Tube stage pre-amp with solid state bypass.  Class A headphone amplifier built-in, which can run through the tube stage preamp if desired, as well.  Overall, very universal and cost-effective.  Great sound and features for an integrated amplifier.

Personally, I'm a Yamaha fan.  I'd recommend you stick with the classics:  Onkyo, denon, pioneer, harmon kardon, marantz...

If you really want the ability to upgrade, buy something with "pre-outs" so you can amp (again) later.  However, pre-outs are usually only available on the upper-end models, so consider buying used.
