Amp for Ns10's??

[pipaguapique]

so, i bought a REALLY nice pair on ebay today...now...the amp...

1 Bryston 3 (i know lots of studios have these)
2 Hafler (tried the Ns10's for the first time with one of these, everyone hates them)
3 Yamaha P 2200 (the same as CLA) but it's 220V??cant use with 110V? $500!!?
4 Perreaux (don't know much about these yet...they look like home audio) yeah, i know, that's what the yamahas are...
5 Quad 405 I think Joshua W has one...i think...
6 Crown DC 300A (cheap)

everyone says a good amp is crucial for getting the most out of your speakers, any recommendations??

Bryston.

Bryston will be the best, but I LOVE my Hafler... Don't know why anyone would hate them. They are priced well and perform well. Hell, mines antique age and has no issues at all.

Bottom line is, if you have the money get the Bryston. On a budget, get a Hafler.

 

[Ben Johnson]

Adcom 535 or 545 is another popular (and cheap) choice.

yes indeed
or if you're really skint, the yamaha or a samson servo will do for now.

got a samson servo here. it does what it is supposed to.....;-)
although i don´t use my ns10s very often. just to double check some volumes.

 

[Aaron Smith]

Crown D-75

 

[Joematthews]

Flying mole. Not that I've tried them, I just think they look interesting and have an amusing name

 

[plague_rider]

never knew NS10s were passive... interesting...

 

[pipaguapique]

what do you know about the Adcom 535 mki vs the mkii??

 

[SimonSez]

I would also look at Carver amps, they have good deals on ebay sometimes.

this is what i use.

 

[pipaguapique]

this is what i use.

and your last production turned out really well by the way...you mentioned when i asked you, that the first version of the Adcom is better right??

 

[Joshua Wickman]

Yea I did a lot of research and I guess they used some cheaper parts in Version II. Also I went with the Adcom 545 over the Crown D-75. I read a lot about how the Ns10's love the extra power and open up with it. Also under powering the Ns10's with amps like the D-75 helpes to blow tweeters and woofers when driven hard. I did the fuse mod on my speaker cable and I have never blew a fuse, so this amp has been great.

 

[pipaguapique]

dang!! i need to learn some shit before i buy mine...care to share some info? what cable are you using? everyone says that will affect your sound

 

[Joshua Wickman]

I'm just using regular speaker wire from radio shack. The fuse mod will effect your sound as well, but I learned on my ns10's with the fuse, so I don't know any different.
