Hawks vs Model one sig.

Need some help deciding on witch speaker to go with for
my dedicated listening room upstairs. Small room 12X10
Was going to run them with Plinius 9100 or 9200.
My son has a pair of original model 1 that sound great
on classe cap 150
in his room but would like a little more base. Do not want a subwoofer. I listen to mostly Jazz and some rock.
Thanks

9200 and the Hawks.

The 9200 has high current 40A with larger toridal transformer.

No not at all. I think you will get better bass results and better overall performance. I'm not talking about playing your system loud. Just better performance in the midrange and bass.

My Vienna Acoustics Haydn (Home Theater) are powered by Musical Fidelity A300cr. That's a good comparison to the Hawks or Model 1's with the Plinius 9200.

The A300 is rated at 225 watts (8 ohms) or about 40A.

Make a good choice on the IC's and speaker cabling and you should be set.
