Hello folks,
I realize that this topic is somewhat dreaded here, I have looked through the "member systems" page and searched quite a bit throughout the forum, I hope you don't think I am just being lazy with this post, but I need direction when it comes to a suitable amp.
I recently purchased a set of used ML Source speakers. I need to drive them, my setup will mostly be playing Vinyl from an RP3(hopefully) through an NAD PP2i Phono Preamp. The Source manual states:
We recommend an amplifier with 100 to 200 watts per channel for
most applications. Probably less would be adequate for our smaller hybrids...
How much less will be adequate? also I know that I need an amp that will be stable to less than 2ohms, many of the amps I find don't mention anything under 4ohms. I'm leaning toward looking for something vintage on the used market that will get me by for a while until I can afford something a bit nicer, but for now the budget is sort of shot. Unless I give up on bringing back an rp3 from the UK in two weeks and put that money into better amp, but I'd like to think the turntable might be a bigger return for my investment. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Timothy
