BlessedPrince Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I’m looking for something to power one RF 7ii in garage. I currently have an old Yammy A27 but it’s not beefy enough. A power amp would be good option too. I Listen to music loud. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opus Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I have a Pioneer SA-9500 integrated amp for sale. Fully restored by Paul Hovenga (Many Moons Audio) in January 2017.

BlessedPrince Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Modern or vintage? $$$? BillDoesn’t matter. As long as they have what it takes. These speaker can handle some serious power. My current amp-over heats and just doesn’t have the kick. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd stomp all over a new receiver rated at 120wpc.I think your right. The one I have now is rated at 100wpc. It has the lighted left to right colored meters. Once it hits the 100wpc is struggles to stay and gets really warm. I can’t turn the volume any louder. So I’m limited.

I've been thinking of selling my HK 3390, but it may not have the oomph you're looking for at 80 watts per channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W27 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Hmm... I don’t like selling gear. If you decide to go with B&K I’ve got the PT3, PT5, and a reference 5 all sitting in boxes. I suppose I could part with one of them. I do have B&K amps, but nothing I want to sell now. I am using B&K amps on all my RF-7’s. They do pair nicely.
