Will the Pioneer A50 power Q acoustics 2050i?

[chrisrock]

Hello folks. I have been out and auditioned some set ups this week and have decided to build the system around my choice of speakers (q acoustics 2050i). I listened to these speakers with various set ups. I am going out next week to audition them with the pioneer A50 and the PD30 CD player. I listened to this combo with other speakers and loved it for the money and the fact that I will be able to add the N30 or N50 network player at a later date.

My question is will the A50 be powerful enough to power the Q acoustics? If not what are your opinions as an alternative in the same price range. I need to get a matching CD player as my other half isn't keen on mixing and matching brands as it doesn't look as good :-/

thanks

Hi Dave, thanks for replying. Have you heard that set up? What is your opinion of the Pioneer?

Also does anyone know if you can bi amp using the A50?

Just read this on the product description on the Superfi site.

'The A50 also features a power-amp direct mode and input, allowing you to use the A50 as a dedicated power amp alongside an external pre-amp or receiver with a pre-out, giving you a potential upgrade path.'

Suppose it depends on what partnering equipment you currently have or plan on purchasing...

in this case I would suggest thar bi-amping is pointless.

The 2050i spekers are pretty sensitive, power in any configuration is noy a problem however control and basic sound quality is.

Just by the best amplifier you can afford, of the usual suspects the Creek 50a would be my 'one to beat'.

I haven't I'm afraid, but I have heard the Pioneer driving more demanding speakers. It'll drive the 2050s with ease.
