    cleanest HI-FI amps for c60 soveriegns

    so, i solved my crossover issue by buying a Pioneer SF850.

    now i need three amps (perhaps 2) to tri-amp my C60s

    i will preamp it with my Mcintosh c26 (waiting on a C22 tube -but don't know when i'll get that)


    i currently have them running with their original crossovers using a Mac 2502 which is 50 watts per channel, but that amp is having some issues on one channel, so i'll probably sell it, and buy something else.

    can anyone recommend which wattages i need for the 15s, horn, and tweeter, and which amps would be ideal for this setup?

    thanks

    In a tri-amp setup you wouldn't need much for neither the 375's, nor the 075's. A watt or two would be sufficient.

    The LE15's would like some more, I'd guess somewhere in the 50-150W range.

    A Crown D-75 for the 075,s.

    A Crown D-150A for the 375,s.

    For the LE15,s, depending on the amount of power you want, here you have MANY choices. A NICE powerful McIntosh, like an MC-2200, or a Crown DC-300A, or one of Crowns newer offerings.

    Or if you like, a Bryston 4B SST would be ABSOLUTELY spectacular on those JBL LE15,s.
