Sweet nightmares!
I very recently came across a pair of B&W DM14 speakers, there was even the STAV 14 stands! In pretty good shape although one of the stands has a chunk out of it. Now it's time to match them in a system and hear what B&W is all about.
Has anyone come across a particular amp or brand that works well with these or with B&W? My choices are limited here, a Sansui AU2900 (15W), a Radio Shack Realistic System Seven receiver (talk about being base heavy! ), a Dynaco St80 or two with a PAT4 preamp (needs a lot of deoxit love), maybe an older Denon receiver or two? Any ideas how much power I would need? These will be for my home office system so I don't need gobs pf power.
I feel like some cool British vintage would be nice if they pass my listening tests - which is if I like them long term, if no caps go bad, they keep working, etc. Not sure what amp, though.
Suggestions welcome!
