I am very interested in picking up a pair of these, but before I do I would like some input regarding amplification. I am currently running a Yamaha RX-V675 AVR with 90 wpc/2 channels driven.
I was looking at switching to an integrated amp in the 70-80wpc range but after adding DAC the budget starts to get big. Multiple posters in the 2 channel forum insisted I'd be better off staying with my AVR at this and most price ranges, given features such as bass management and built-in DAC.
More than one person suggested that it is a myth that an integrated amp will outperform an AVR for music, although that is contrary to much that I've read and heard.
The question is, am I wasting the potential of these speakers by staying with my AVR? Should I try to sell it and buy and integrated in the $1000 range? That is an expensive prospect if the improvement in SQ won't be drastic.
Thanks.
