    New B&W 683 s2 with Yamaha RN500?

    Ok so.. I went to Superfi and Richer sounds today to listen and get their opinion as per your advice. SO glad I did, listened to 2050i, monitor audio silver 6 and 8, B&W 683 s2 and CM8 and a couple standmounters.The 2050is were my favorite and way cheaper! Listened with a Yamaha s500 and a...

    New B&W 683 s2 with Yamaha RN500?

    Q2050i and pioneer hm72/82

    Hi, would this amp be powerful enough for the 2050s? I love that it is compact and has wifi built in. Seems like a great 2.0 setup for me for music and movies. Just concerned theres not enough power with 50watts into 4ohms??
