Receiver that can drive SF Signums?


Hi,
I've had a pair of Signums that have been paired with a Yamaha Rx-V1 speaker for years. Obviously, I know they weren't able to drive the speakers.
Due mostly to space/$ and the fact I am also using it as a Home Theater system, I would prefer getting another receiver instead of components.
Even thought receiver isn't ideal for them, what is the best receiver I can get today to drive these?
Also, if I did go components, what again would be the best 5.1+ preamp/amp to drive these? Price range is ~$3,000-$5,000 for both.

Eugene,

Although it's not technically a receiver (since it doesn't have a am/fm tuner), the Linar model 10 might be a good choice for you depending on if it's functionality is adequate for your system.

The Linar Model 10 is a 5.1 channel Integrated amp. It has several 2-channel analog inputs and one 5.1 channel analog input. So, you would need to connect a DVD player with 5.1 channel analog outputs, or connect an HT processor to the 5.1 channel input.

There's one currently for sale on A-goN. No relationship with the seller, just passing along the information.

If you really need a traditional HT receiver, I would recommend the latest top of the line unit from Arcam.
