Thinking about picking up a pair of Dynaudio Audience (or possibly some Dynaudio Acoustics BM pro monitors) and am somewhat unsure as to how to drive them.
When I auditioned the Dynaudio Audiences, the demo setup at the store was with a Rotel RSP1066 Pre/Pro and a Rotel 1095 5-ch. amp. While the combined $3200 MSRP for the combo isn't outlandishly high, I am looking at some less expensive alternatives.
How much would the sound degrade (especially worrisome given the Dynaudio being 4ohm loudspeakers) if I opted instead for Rotel's RSX-1055 or 1065 receivers or maybe even an H/K AVR8000 or NADT762?
Is the musical fidelity for a Pre/Pro-Amp combo such as the Rotel's (or comparable setups from Outlaw or Sherbourn) so much better than that from a Rotel, H/K, or NAD receiver?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give on the matter.
