so i finally got the monitors of my dreams (platinum audio solos) and they are AMAZING, i absolutely LOVE them.
trouble is, at 84db of sensitivity, they are rather close to the lower end of the sensitivity spectrum, and my 60watt per channel Cambridge Audio A540 integrated amp is having some serious problems driving them, when pushed too hard it wont clip, but the sound becomes somewhat congested.
SO! my options are getting a more powerful integrated amp (suggestions?)
or getting a poweramp and using my A540 as a pre (suggestions)
or getting a decent pre and power amp combo.
It would need to be upwards of 140 watts at 6ohm, since that's what most people say its required to make these really sing.
Try and keep the prices within the realms of the reasonable for a college student!
Cheers!
