    I just bought a Carver TFM-25 and two Carver pre-amps for $225 to run Monitor 7s. Not impressed with the pre-amps, but I'm liking the amp so far. It packs a punch. I'd think it would do well with SDA-2A's.
    2 Channel: Atohm GT-1 speakers, Atoll IN400 integrated amp, PS Audio DirectStream DAC, PS Audio NuWave Phono Converter, Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB with Ortofon Bronze cartridge, SotM sMS-200 ultra streamer, SotM sPS-500 power supply, and homemade infinite baffle subwoofer with two Fi Audio IB318 drivers.

    HT: All Polk: SDA 2.3tl fronts, CSiA6 center, 500-LS ceiling, RT/FX, RTi8, Monitor 4 rears, plus Yamaha CX-a5100 AV Preamplifier/Processor, Yamaha MX-a5000 11.1 channel amplifier, and Sony XBR55-AE1 OLED TV.

    What is your budget? ^^^^ So true, Carver Pre's suck but their amps are pretty good budget power. I may have a nice M1.0t I might part with

    Polk SDA 1C's modded / 1000Va Dreadnaught
    Wireworld Silver Eclipse IC's and speaker cables
    Harman Kardon T65C w/Grado Gold. (Don't laugh. It sounds great!)

    Well I guess you have never used the Carver C-16 or C-19 those most definitely don't suck....

    I tried a C-19 for a couple of days my friend had for sale and it did seem better than my C-2. But with the help of members here I happened across the B&K reference 50 pre/pro I now have. Huge improvement!
