Suitable amp for monitor speakers

mauro_ferrante

This is the A/V receiver I have: Denon 1907 (85 w per channel).
And These are the speakers I've bought:
2 Monitor 60
1 CS2 central
1 PSW 12
2 Monitor 30

According to your experience, is that the suitable A/Vr fot those speakers?
I've conected all the speakers directly to the A/Vr, is this the best option?
Should I add an external Amp for any of the speakers?

Thanks,
Mauro.

Hi Mauro,

I have a similar setup, and my HK 635 (rated 75WPC) pushed them very well. It does have preouts, so I eventually tried out a couple amps and found them to create a fuller sound (most noticeable for music). . . so, if your amp has preouts, you could always save up for a good 5 channel amp down the road to kick things up a notch. But, enjoy what you have for now, it will sound good with the electronics you have, esp if you're coming from a HTIB system, like I was.

The Monitor 60's would sound pretty decent in 2-channel with the help of a dedicated external amp, which would set you back $200-$300 on the used market. But, most here would tell you you'd be better off saving up for some better speakers if you're big into music / 2-channel listening.

I'm saving for a good 2-channel rig as I'm happy with the monitors for HT.
