twemcd Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Thanks for including me in your forum! I'm not an audiophile by any means but music is a big part of our household. I recently purchased a pair of RP-600M speakers and could use a suggestion for a two channel amp. Searching reviews and best of lists is endless! I know you people here can point me in the right direction. Thanks, Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you are interested in new. Do you foresee ever using a subwoofer in your setup? Also, how much do you want to spend? Thanks... @twemcd 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rankaudio Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Quote Im running a pair of Magnepan .7’s, Heresy II’s and Caintuck Lii Fast 8’s with a REL t5i sub with each system. I’ve compared lots of top rated components. I just ordered another Dynakit Stereo 120 solid state from Kenny at Funtastic Vintronics again and I’m selling off everything else to have two systems. This includes all my tube gear and I can’t believe I’m going to solid state but this is the exception. This amp just demolishes everything I’ve compared it with. It has a spatial separation exactly like tubes but with all the fast bass attack you get from solid state and it gives my Heresy’s an incredibly pleasant sound. It’s sounds absolutely magnificent and you can run it as an integrated amp if you get it with a volume control. It drives my Maggie’s perfectly. Competes and outperforms anything I’ve compared regardless of price. It’s all updated with new parts and just $600!

twemcd Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Thank you all, I wasn't thinking of a sub until you mentioned it billybob, so I would yes to a future sub. As far as price I was looking at a Yamaha A-S701 for 799. Everything is on sale this weekend. Just not sure if it all would work together. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I took a look and yes on the rear, a sub out, and phono out for TT, just in case. Black or silver and 100 X 2 watts per channel. Built in DAC. Would look for more answers to come in here. Review all of the specs and make sure on this one that has all of your requirements. One other thing on this one and others recc. Shop price and deals. And look for reviews. Others may say more. Do you like Yamaha? @twemcd 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1290 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Welcome to the Forum. Heck of a nice price on that Yammer Integrated. In your price range and would do the job nicely. Got it ALL in a pretty lil black box. You'll be a happy fam and those Klipsch should shine! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack R Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I'm running the Yamaha A-S801 with my CF3's and have been happy thus far. I'd say it's a great starting point for someone who is interested in two channel stereo without breaking the bank (mine was $600 used). The USB input for the onboard DAC is what separates it from the A-S701. Welcome to the forum! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Tom I own the RP160M speakers, which are very similar, and I use a Denon RCD-M41DAB microsystem with them. I bought this little system at Amazon Warehouse at a very interesting reduced price (Denon speakers included, which are now in the bedroom). https://www.whathifi.com/denon/d-m41dab/review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
