I am hoping someone can steer me in the right direction since this is pretty new to me.

First of all here is what I have:

1994 Denon 545R receiver 60wpcRMS
1994 Denon DCM 340 5 disc CD player
2 day old Monitor Audio GR-10 speakers
1994 Boston Acustic Passive sub.

I am not sure the 60WPC is going to drive these speakers correctly?


What I want to do is get a power amp or integrated amp (not sure what the difference is) to run my GR-10 and be able to hook up a powered sub like a Velodyne SPL1000R.

I want to still use the Denon receiver for the tuner section, I do have a pre-out on the back of the Denon that I assume would go to the amp?

I was thinking 125-150wpc would be a good place to start? I was looking at Acom and NAD, the NAD 372 look like a good amp and it appears there is a pre-out I could connect the powered sub.

Any other suggestions? And would I notice a difference is sound with the NAD?

thanks
