A question about amplifier

Hello to everyone!

Several days ago I purchased a pair of Dynaudio BM6-P monitors, so it's time to decide what amplifier I need for this babies.

I think about Alesis RA-300... Idea

The question is: how do you think, is this amplifier a good choice? Rolling Eyes

Any suggestions?

I'm of the opinion that good speakers are much more important than a good amplifier. Speaker design is pretty tricky and amp design is, by comparison, rather simple. Any low distortion amp with enough power to leave plenty of headroom at the volume you want should do. So I'm sure that Alesis amp would be fine. I use powered monitors, so I never messed around with finding an amp. In my previous setup I used an old Symetrix A-220 and it sounded fine. I got it on eBay for about $20. My speakers added more color to the sound than my amp did, because an amp, any amp, really isn't supposed to do much but make the sound louder without messing it up.

I agree with BigTex. Since 1968 (approx) amplifier design is a slam dunk. Anything with the required power should work fine. It's always good to get more power than you need so that if you will avoid clipping. I've used the Alesis amps and they are excellent.
