kamille Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Hi, I'm planning on buying 2 RP-260-F loudspekers. I'm having a hard time finding a good amplifier (not receiver) to pair them with and use them to their full potential. Also, what minimum requirements are needed from the amplifier. Wattage, impedance, etc... Thx in advance ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 @kamille, Welcome to the forum. Guessing strictly 2-channel amp? Integrated amp okay? What size room? How loud do you listen? How about budget? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How loud do you listen? How about budget? Hi, Yes. 2channel. Integrated is ok. 140m3 room. Like jazz. Like low to medium. Sometimes loud. Budget is 500-700 euros. If you would advise a similar Klipsch speaker model, please do. Edited September 9, 2018 by kamille Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this recommendation. The AHB2 is the best solid state amplifier I have owned. It is truly remarkable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of using 2 RP-260F speakers hooked up to a 2 channel rotel amp as base. Then use a Audiolab M-DAC+ (balanced XLR to rotel) up to my laptop to play lots of flac jazz and maybe play around with dsd streaming... Or would this be a no go road. Also, in a lot of reviews the speakers tend to be too much exciting for jazz. Anyone who can refute this with experience ? It's a jungle out there...
