Hello all,
First post, first day

I'm Jake, I come from England and I'm 20, currently studying Web Design/animation/programming at university.

I've decided to spend the rest of my student loan (£350) on a new audio setup for my house next year at university.

My current system is still going strong, but is dated and the speakers are starting to show their age (in sound and looks)

Setup at the moment is a NAD 3130 from 1985 powering two Monitor Audio R252 and a Sansui 40 from 1980 powering two Airtec floor speakers.

I've been thinking about keeping the NAD 3130 as it gives such a good clean sound, and upgrade to some nice new speakers. While ditching everything else.

So far I've looked at some beautiful Alesis Monitor 1 MK2 speakers http://www.htfr.com/more-info/MR98786

Being a student they will need to produce loud playback, but also give me some good quality sound when I'm studying.

Will my 3130 be able to power those speakers? or is a new amplifier in need?
Or can you think of some speakers which will fit the bill for me? I would like a good amount of bass.

Specs of the NAD 3130;
Continuous output power into 8ohm * 30W (15dBW)
IHF Dynamic headroom at 8ohm +3dB
IHF dynamic power (maximum short term power per channel) 8ohm 60W

Cheers
Jake
