How much power for Teledyne AR-9's

both tube and solid state. Really looking for recommendations in amplification under 2K.

Thanks -

I liked the Aragon 4004 MKII with them (around $800 used) giving you 400w. I would say get something 200w minimumm ofcourse you can go less but you will never be able to crank and hear what those babies can really do. I never did tubes but did use Parasound, Aragon, Carver and Rotel with great results. For such an older model you may want to just get a great used amp for cheap. Thats an awesome speaker and I wish I kept mine, cheers

I used to drive them with a Yamaha M-2, then a M-80. I have gone to a Canary Audio CA-301 mkii 22w 300b tube amplifier. Much better sound and never any lack of power... deep controlled bass, beautify mid and high. I also use Synergistic Research Resolution Ref cables... wonderful upgrade to sound.
