Integrated amp for Philharmonic BMR monitors

@samureyex 

new speaker is Cantibule rated at 90db. Also a Super BMR monitor 

So with your experience with BMR tower..what amps did you try and do you think the Rogue Cronus magnum 3 is enough for the tower ? I think it actually measures a little easier to drive than monitor. 

@mcpherson I wonder what's in those Super BMR to make it so expensive. $3,500 each. $7k for a pair. The HT towers have the same drivers and 2x the amount of the Purifi woofers and only $4500~

To answer your question. I tried a tube amp, 55 watts / channel. Lots of watts as far as tubes were concerned and that wasn't enough. It sounded marvelous but the tweeter wasn't getting enough power but it sounded subdued. 

But like I said, the amp has to be really good in sound quality and has to be quite powerful. Idk how powerful the Rogue Magnum 3 is, 100 watts seem sufficient. I believe it would be a good match. 

I don't have the BMR anymore, I only owned it for 2 years. ATM I have a Coda S5.5, the Coda is powerful and sounds sublime. I'm sure it would be a good match for the BMR too. 

@samureyex ,

I think the Super BMR are $3500 for the pair. The website says $1,750 each which makes sense. 

@mofojo It just changed today. It was $3,500 each before this.

Before I ran the Monitors with a Wotan/Kara I used a Ragnarok 2 which was fine, and if you like planar headphones - a slam dunk at the used prices at around $725-750.
