Hi, I recently picked up a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 500 floorstanders to use as part of a 2 channel set up (currently using my 5.1 set up for music and movies, but looking to separate the two) and I’m now looking at stereo amps/receivers.
What should I be looking for in a stereo amp?
I note so far that a lot of stereo amps tend to have lower quoted power outputs than similarly priced AV receivers and I’ve read the odd comment that under powering speakers can be bad for them, so I’m trying to figure out what my requirements should be in an amp to suit the new speakers, before I set a budget and audition a few.
Thanks in advance
