Thank you all so much for your advice. I have been a lurker on here for a while now trying to learn as much as I can and have noticed how knowledgable everyone seems to be. I plan on using the Pre outs on my Yamaha 2050 atm until I can get dedicated seperates. I am even considering selling 1 of my dynamo 700's and use those funds to up my spending on a good power amp. My hope would be the two 8 inch woofers in the ESL's would produce enough bass to compensate for the loss experienced with going down to 1 dynamo.
Needing advice
Hello everyone.
I would love some advice on a power amplifier to pair with my Martin Logan ESL's. I am still very new to the audio world and am having a hard time trying to figure out what amp I should be looking at. I recently purchased some brand new ESL's at a great price to pair with my Yamaha Aventage 2050 and even though they sound good they just don't sound as good as when I listened to them in my local audio video store. I have absolutely no regrets on the purchase and know when they are paired with the right equipment they can sound amazing. I know opinions can be very different and I know listening to them in a store that uses much higher end product and better room setup then I have also plays a huge part.
I would like to keep the price under $1k (which I know might limit my options) and the type of music I listen to ranges from Frank Sinatra to Tool. They will also be used for my home theater and I would say my listening ratio would be 60/40 in favor of movies. The subs I use are 2 dynamo 700's and have positioned the ESL's based on Martin logans recommendation. I have tried to do research on Emotiva, Rotel, Parasound, Outlaw audio, B&K, Peachtree and the more I read the more I realized I still have a lot to learn.
Thank you everyone in advance for any advice you can give.
