T'anks, but I'm too much of Klipsch fan-girl for that ;-)

Hi Dave, thanks for the reply. I considered the 160 long and hard, but I really don't have the ear to notice the difference and the bulk of my music is MP3 files anyway, some burned long, long ago in lower quality. I have been looking at Yamaha's a-s301 just today. Does offer considerably more power. Not quite as small and sleek as the Teac but a little more power so probably less chance of distortion. I also looked at the specs on the speakers from Teac they recommended with the amp, they were a lot smaller than the 150. So I keep mulling....

Hi Bill, thanks for the reply. Yeah, just a medium sized room, no crazy loud volume. I'm more concerned about highs and lows within the music, not sure how to gauge the juice for that.

hehehe yeah, them Canadians are going wild! And I thought the Mets fans were rabid!

Hi everyone. Would appreciate suggestions for my speaker upgrade. In Short: Will Teac's AI-301DA provide good power for the RP-150M? Teac: Maximum output 60W + 60W (4 ohms, 20Hz to 20kHz, JEITA) 30W + 30W (8 ohms, 20Hz to 20kHz, JEITA) Rated Output 43W + 43W (4 ohms, 20Hz to 20kHz, THD 0.1%, JEITA) 22W + 22W (8 ohms, 20Hz to 20kHz, THD 0.1%, JEITA) Supported Impedance 4 ohms to 8 ohms RP-150M: SENSITIVITY: 93dB @ 2.83V / 1m POWER HANDLING (CONT/PEAK): 75W/300W NOMINAL IMPEDANCE: 8 Ohms Compatible Details: I'm looking to upgrade from the ProMedia Computer Speakers which I have loved for about seven years. The subwoofer gave out a couple months ago and I've been considering options. I tried a couple Sonos Play:3 and did not like them, though I'm very grateful to have tried them, as they made me realize how much I like the sound of Klipsch. I haven't even looked at audio equipment for fifteen years or so, so a little lost trying to figure out various options and specifcations. Bottom line, from my iMac, for one room, I'd like to get the right amp for the RP-150Ms. The room is about 20x20 feet with tile floor. The ProMedia are plenty loud and full. I'm more interested in rich warm sound than loud. I'm listening to more classical from .wav files lately, so hoped to build a bigger sound. I'm no musician or audiophile, just want to take a step up. Can't spend more than $1000 total. Based on the chart on the Klipsch general faq page about wattage and efficiency, it looks to me the Teac oughta get it done. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Best, -dg
