I'm looking for a new amp, trying to spend under $500 right now. Currently running Schiit Freya >> Bose 1800 Series VI (a white-labeled Carver PM1400) >> out to KEF 105.4s.
I'm trying to understand how much amp I need.. been looking at Yamaha M, MX, P series from 120wpc up to 350 as well as similarly aged and situated amps with pretty meters and lights. I'm a sucker for meters.
If I went with a Yamaha M4, 120 wpc, am I going to be bummed? Does something around 150-170 wpc get me there?
I get it, the answer is subjective and based on multiple/ myriad factors..
What I'm asking is, based on your personal preference, if you were me (while thanking goodness and any deity that will listen that you are not) what would you all do, in this situation?
