newbee Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hi, I am currently running these speakers with a vintage Sony Amplifier which I never like.After a going round for an budget amplifier for my speakers I narrowed down to the following. 1.Cambridge audio Azur 640A V3 2.Nad C325/C326 beee 3.Cayin TA-30 (2 years Used) 4.Rotel RA-04 Now the problem with the Cayin set is that I need to change the tubes after few years or so.But tubes are not easily available at my part of the world.Only the dealers can get them for me from some other country. Have anyone used these amplifiers with the reference series speakers.I really need help from the community. [*-)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 It is SS but look at www.emotiva.com products. Good price and good power ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbee Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hi Bill, Thanks for answering.But you see the mentioned product is out of my reach.And I am looking for a quality amp within my budget, not a powerful one as the RF-10 are only 75watt rated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Don't worry about the power rating of the speakers. Most speaker manufacturers today recommend using an amplifier with up to twice the rated power of the speakers, so the amp will never be overworked and will always be sending a clean signal to the speakers. That way, the amp is very unlikely to ever go into clipping, which is very dangerous to speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 New, I hear what your saying on the Price........... Looking at Audiogon, Used Cambridge's are going for 399.00.............. On the Emotiva site a NIB 2 channel Amp w/ Warranty is 699.00 Shipped................ OR if your going to be into HT Emotiva's 3 channel Amp is Only 549.00 shipped ! http://emotiva.com/xpa3.shtm Good Luck. myself I have heard and owned NAD and Cambridge products. Both are very nice with that Warm British smooth sound but I felt that I was pushing the Integrated Amps to achieve the same sound as a more Powerful Amp............... JMHO .

newbee Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Oh I got it. But my main problem is that I won't get the oportunity to listen to different amps with the klipsch as the klipsch dealers over here only keeps Onkyo products.I have to go for the buy depending on reviews only.

newbee Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hearing from you I quickly searched the local forum and found one of the members over there was asked 750$ as shipping charges to bring a emotiva amp.This is India and it's not worty over here to import an amp.Relatively the cambridge audio and Nad products are reasonably priced here.

russ69 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Mr. Newbee, The Nad 640 is nice, I bought one for my Dad. Also you might look at the Onkyo A-9555, it's a nice unit with lots of power. Thanx, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 newbee, Welcome to the forum. I have a mid 80's Luxman R115 stereo receiver(70w/ch) that is in great condition with a real strong tuner. I am currently using it to power a pair of Forte's, switching back and forth with my 70's Marantz. Don't let 70w/channel fool you. It feels more like 85 to 100w. Send me a PM if interested.

CECAA850 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Does India have 120v, 60Hz current? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Does India have 120v, 60Hz current? I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 This is India and it's not worty over here to import an amp. Ooops, I did not catch the India thing. Shipping costs from Florida would be crazy. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 India ! Then buy locally and save lots of hassle and worry. NAD is a very good Unit and blends well with Klipsch ! Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
