Beedster Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) What's my best bet? It's a very small room, so relatively low power is required (everything I look at online seems to be up in the several hundred watts range, but given that my 20w hifi amp pretty much fills the room sound-wise, I doubt I need much more than 50 at most)?

Beedster Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Fair point, kinda at the opposite end of the financial spectrum to your rather lovely setup I guess mate, £200-300 max? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bremen Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Quad 405? Doesn't have a fan, plenty headroom for a small room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 What monitors will it be running? I only ask because if you can get something specifically designed to run with them then that would be the "safest" bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
