Best Stereo Amp for JBL L-112s
I have the connected to a Denon AVR 3600 at 110W x 2 into 8 ohms and it sounds great but I have read that these speakers really like a lot more power. I will take the Denon's L+R front channel Pre-Amp out to the new amp and run the L-112's since I want to maintain the home theater function they now serve.
So what amp should I run? Money is a factor but I am realistic about the cost of a good amp.
Thanks!
I've been running my L112's on a Yamaha M-80 for years
fed by my RXV-2400. I just recently bridged a pair of M-80's and they sound even better with the added headroom, typically running in auto Class-A at lower volumes. :applaud:
It's hard to beat the warmth and extremely low THD of these amps. 250WPC @8Ohms .003THD. IMHO, JBL and same vintage Yamaha (unless going tube) were meant for each other.
The M-80/M-85 in particular are monoblock amps, hence their current prices on epay right now. The M-70 & smaller and newer MX amps aren't too bad, but most aren't monoblock like the M-8x.
Yamaha does build a modern solid sate monoblock for the digital age, the MX-D1. $5k. :eek:
