Leave the Yamaha in your closet. It may sound louder but at what cost to your ears? If the Arcam doesn't do it, bi-amping will do wonders with a better amp or you can always use a nice sub/crossover with them. Leave the Yamaha in your closet.
Yamaha B-4 ? Power Amp - Good for Maggie 1.6s?
I love the sound of Maggies so that's the direction I want to go. Everybody says they are power hogs. I already own an Arcam FMJ22 which puts out 175w into 4 ohms and I have my trusty old Yamaha which I think is like 350w? Does anyone know the specs on these old Yamahas? How many watts into 4 ohms, into 8 ohms? Should I bi-amp the Maggies or leave out the Yamaha entirely? What current equipment would significantly improve on the Yamaha cost effectively?
