Best way to power LSi 15s fof 2 channel integrated amp or stereo receiver. Integrated amps Cambridge Audio 640A, Creek 5350SE or NAD C372. Stereo Receivers H/K 3480.

If you have the money for those receivers why not just go with separates?

LS15's require more power to perform well. Owners recommend 200 WPC@8 ohm minimum._________________________________________________

SOPAThank God for different opinions. Imagine the world if we all wanted the same woman -
Can I use the H/K 3480 as the pre/pro & 2 Outlaw 2200s?

You can, but you won't be using the amp section of the HK. A Preamp might be a better purchase, unless you like that the HK has more features and a tuner.Stereo Rig: Hales Revelation 3, Musical Fidelity CD-Pre 24, Forte Model 3 amp, Lexicon RT-10 SACD, MMF-5 w/speedbox, Forte Model 2 Phono Pre, Cardas Crosslink, APC H15, URC MX-950, Lovan Stand

The NAD C327 is 2x150w in 4ohms 340 dynamic power will the LSi 15s perform well with the NAD?

Just asking to find out if Polk & H/K already had a AVR. He answered and does and it has preamp outs sooooo he can go with external amps @ 200 watts a ch.engtaz

Unless you are going with a totally different 2-channel setup in a different room, Polk/HK, I would utilize what you already own. The 635 is a capable pre-pro, so just replace your current front with the LSI 15s, add a nice Parasounds, B&K, Rotel, Adcom, etc. amp for the fronts, and go to town.
Now, if it's a separate system, I would either go with a nice matching separates combo, or an integrated amp. I got a MF integrated and couldn't be happier. All the functionality I wanted, just as good of sound as my B&K gear (my favorite sounding gear), a very classy chassis, and a reasonable pricetag.Stereo Rig: Hales Revelation 3, Musical Fidelity CD-Pre 24, Forte Model 3 amp, Lexicon RT-10 SACD, MMF-5 w/speedbox, Forte Model 2 Phono Pre, Cardas Crosslink, APC H15, URC MX-950, Lovan Stand

Isn't this your THIRD thread asking what to power Lsi's with?:rolleyes:

I had the NAD C372 powering my LSI15's. It sounded thin and flat. Almost sold my 15's. Then I got a used adcom 555II, wow like night and day. The speakers came alive, not just at high volume levels but also at low settings. I currently am running a adcom gfa 5500.
