recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat
Those Paradigms like high current/voltage amps like Anthem. Paradigm is the parent company of Anthem. I've heard the two paired and they sound great. I wouldn't be afraid to push 200 watts through your speakers. Your going to maintain driver control better than if your easing in to 70-80 watts. You want better braking. |
tripg- you read into the analogy correctly. We have an A'gon comrade with Anthem I225 Integrated amp. It's rated at 225 watts into 8 ohm/310 into 4ohm. He's running Paradigm Studio 100 v3. The speakers do not flinch or suffer any driver compression. He works the amp hard and it does not get hot. And its not sluggish. These are in your pricepoint - new with warranty. Now, are their more transparent amps out their? Of course. https://www.anthemav.com/products-current/collection=performance/model=pva-2/page=overview https://www.anthemav.com/products-current/type=amplifier/model=mca-225/page=overview Ayre also makes some great 5 series amps. 150 watts into 8 ohms. They should run around $2250 - $2600 used. Very transparent. |
