Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and I hope you can give me some advice. I am looking for an amplifier for my Monitor Audios GS 10. My source is a Rega Apollo R, I listen specially to classical music such as Opera, chamber music, baroque and piano. My current budget is between 500 and 1000. I gave it a thought to the likes of a Marantz pm 6005 and pm 8005, but this last one has been receiving some criticism both from costumers and press that might be somewhat on the bright side, causing it to sound harsh or agressive with female vocals. I also seek something rithmycally and transparent like Naim is reputed to sound. I don't think that with a sensibility of 88dbs and 100watts power handling it requires massive muscle, since I can push it loud with my old mission cyrus one, but something capable of delivering a high output on current would suit it best. An amplifier between 50 and 70 watts I believe it cand do the trick. I have already tested it with a 100 watts double toroidal configuration amplifier and it failed to fully engage the speakers. So I don't think, and you could help me learn otherwise, that too much muscle is the only requirement.
So i am seeking advise from eventual owners of these speakers or other skilled opinions.
Glad to meet you. Many thanks for your time.
