Hi,
I'm looking to buy some speakers - my amp is a Marantz PM7001.
I'm tempted by the Kef iQ10's or the Mission 790's.
I've heard the amp with a decent pair of Mission's once - and thought it was amazing, I'm not sure the exact model though but I'd guess around the same price bracket as the 790's.
But the Mission 790 review on WhatHiFi is troubling me.
I used to have Wharfdale Diamond 9.1's (WhatHiFi highly recommend them) but I was pretty disappointed after hearing the amp connected to the Mission's. I've also used the amp with I think Gale MK2 (that's something to do with Kef?) - which actually sounded better than the Wharfdale's.
Anyway - just wondered what people thought...
Oh - also - if the speaker's say best input Watt is "10 - 100" - and the amp's output Watts is 70 per speaker - does that mean I should look for speakers that have a best input of 70 or 140 Watts?
Thanks
