Amplifiers and speakers.. must choose.

To Mr Peabody: Yes I think that MA are the most interestings, they cost quite a lot but I could do some sacrifices for them.

the MA's will not let you down.
(as I said before) My cousin has a pair, he's driving them with a vintage Technics SA-400, and a marantz CD5001 cdp. for their money, they are exellent speakers, with lots of detail and pretty deep bass...

Keep them spinning,
Bert.

Hope they would sound well with that 9355, since I'm looking at it right now. I'm just scared from those 38W (of dynamic power) figures against those 120W of the 9555 and 55W of the 9155 (that cost 100 euros less, but it's not a D class amp).
It's just those figures that keep me undecided.

Like like links I posted for 9355 and 9555 arent working. Here you go.

9355 looks to be 70watts in 4ohm and 9555 is about 160-170watts in 4 ohm(100 watts in 8ohm)

It's all about the quality of your amp. I used to use a 45 watt integrated amp to drive Triangle Comete (91dB sensitivity). 45 watt was ALOT more than I ever needed. But if you go with 9555, you wouldnt need to limit your speakers to handful of speakers with 90+dB sensitivity with friendly load(8ohm speaker Load).

Didn't noticed this reply, sorry.
They are efficient speakers (88db) but it's not only about 'Output Watts', they (Onkyo) rate 'Dynamic Watts' at 38 W (8 ohm). It's fairly below of a normal amplifier like a Yamaha 60 W (Output Watts) rated at 100 W (Dynamic Watts).

Anyway I have been able to purchase the amplifier at a fairly low price (211 euro) so I will tell you how good does it sound.
