I have an opportunity to buy an Alesis power amp (Matica 900) to power my home audio subwoofers. Is anyone familiar with this amp or Alesis power amps in general that can offer comments?

I have heard a crown K1 and it was very impressive for bass, but also quite expensive. I can get this for a good pices used.

I'm wonderin' the relationship between the amp's quality and ns-10m.

if I connect that w a cheapest PA (like ROSS system), it must sound bad. is it right?

so. buy a active monitors like msp-5 will better in this case ?

Just curious if anyone could give me some insight on the best bang for your buck studio monitors and headphones. For monitoring, I've read tons about stuff like the Mackie HR624/824 setup...and lately my interest has been aimed at something like the Yamaha MSP5's. Yes? No?

Hello all,
I have a 1120 Marantz console amp that I bought in 1975. I'm using it in my home studio to power a pair of JBL 4408's. I been considering upgrading my monitor system. Is my present system worth keeping...or should I spend the money to upgrade...and if so what would I need to spend to hear an improvment?
Thanks for the help.

any suggestions?

i have a pair of event 20/20 monitors and i am hoping that i could get some recommendations for a power amp for them. i am buying several items right now and i am looking to get something adequate in the $200, new or used, range that would work until until i can upgrade (monitors and amp). i know that the nominal impedence is 4 ohms and 150 watts programable and 200 watts peak.

Can anyone advise me if they're running a power amp that has a cooling fan but is still very quiet?

I'd like a studio amp that can double for live performance once in a while to run some stage monitors. I doubt that any of the fan-less models, such as Hafler, are really up to the task of running full tilt in a live situation. Thanks for your suggestions!

Ok guys I decided to go with the tannoy Reveals (unpowered)for my first set of monitors. I went with the unpowered because I plan on getting a second pair of monitors later, just to give me that second listen. I might just use my home stereo speakers in the meantime. Anyway what do you guys recommend for a amp for these baby's. Probably looking to spend around 400 bucks.

While I have the Mackies, I have not been too happy with the hyped sound and I had to return to my old NS 10s, However my Crown DC 300R amp is on the fritz and I had just repaired it last year.

which amps do you guys recommend to power a pair of NS-10s? hopefully there are a few that aren't too expensive.
