YK Thom Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I have a new set of front mains on the way (Ohm Walsh Tall 2000). They are less efficient than the stand mounted RB61 IIs Iam currently using. I am considering that I may need (or want), a boost for the front left/right due to this lessened efficiency as well as the fact they draw 6ohms vs 8 for the surrounds and centre. Any recommendations for a two channel putting out 150watts or better that will sound nice without breaking the bank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I owned five of the MA-700's at one time and thought they were just wonderful amps. Warmish but detailed and plenty of grunt with 200w@8ohms, 300w/ch@4ohms. http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649308635-marantz-ma700/ If you did not like them, they easily would sell for what you buy them for or even more.

Bill Wow, I've not seen these before. I am a Marantz fan in general and am using a Marantz AVR. These are in Canadian dollars and may be ticket. edit: sent a message off to see if he is willing to ship north from Saskatchewan. If he is that may be the quickest solved problem I've had in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Good news, he is willing to ship and will let me know the Canada Post rate tomorrow. Very much looking forward to receiving these. Thanks for the suggestion and direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Done deal. Will have to figure how to properly hook them up once they arrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
