Hello.
I have a Marantz PM7005 integrated amplifier:
60 W x 2 (8 Ω/ohms load)
80 W x 2 (4 Ω/ohms load)
As I understand, the two speakers are 8 ohms each equaling a total of 4ohms.
The RP-8000Fs each are “up to 150w” each.
Obviously, those are general numbers and there are other factors. I have pondered getting the mentioned speakers. I want great sound but I am also not on a perfection quest. With that said, I am also interested in other similar amps that are in a similar price range as my current Marantz (was) with the same basic features. Obviously, power output is a consideration. Basically the $1k-1.5k range.
—no receiver
—no A/V
—DAC such as the PM7005 has. I realize that it’s not stellar.
—solid state
—I like the analog and source direct features that the PM7005 has
—I use a turntable, CD and computer/iPhone
—I’m not familiar about possible Bluetooth features and what they add to the cost. If basically nothing, I would consider. However, I am fine with some sort of usb, including usb-c
