Is Anybody Into Fairly Decent Hifi, Just Wanted Some Advice?

[derrick]

I don't know I'm thinking 100 watts @ 8 ohms min. My current amps are 70 watts @ 8 ohms, but they are old. The Roksan Kandy K3 is 140 watts @ 8 ohms. Wish I could hear the thing. Its just my current amps that make me think I need more. The speakers I have seem to like lots of power. I do play it loud though.. I'm just judging this off my current equipment nothing else..

Lol, that's the trouble when I actually find a house to buy, I will probably have neighbours, but at the moment I want to make the most of the situation.

I was after some old Mission 752 Freedoms, but I got beaten to them. If I'd of got them I probably wouldn't of been in this situation as they are very easy to drive, fantastic old speakers my brother has some. These speakers are better though, they go louder, but like power. I wasn't expecting to buy an amp as well, but that's hifi I guess, money pit......

One of the reasons that it's worth paying decent money for decent kit - the likes of Sugden (which I have), Quad, Naim etc - just send whatever needs fixing back to them and they sort it. Sugden have been very cheap for the two repairs I have needed these past couple of decades.

Sugden make some lovely Amps.

Seriously, having read the reviews of your speakers, I think unless you find a very conspicuous bargain, you will have to throw some cash at the amp, in which case you really should...

Or, at a loose end, so how about:

Of those, the Primare for me, even at a nominal 80w it'd drive your speakers just fine.
