so i have been looking at new front speakers and i think it is time to step up and get a amp. Figure i just need a Amp for the front speakers and not the rest yet.. so what is a good amp that would power something like the lsi9's that is fairly cheap and LOOKS GOOD.

    I like older Adcoms, and Parasounds. Don't get too hung up on watts with either of these brands. The LSI's are 4ohms so an amp is rated at 130 at 8ohms will put out about 200 at 4. No need to spend more than $300 for something really good. Make sure your receiver has pre outs.

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    A Carver M-500t is a very nice pairing with the 9's.

    Parasound or older NAD, especially if you like big green buttons.......way cool.
