What amp for speakers

Kaotc · 3 Dec 2020 at 14:32

Hey all,

Got a set of speakers that I want to wall mount in my office, so I need some form of amplifier to drive them. but, i dont want to go full size hifi amp. They are 75w 8ohm for reference

What do you recommend?

Need to know what speakers they are. 75wpc into 8ohms is not enough info!

Sorry, can't post more than 15 in 24hrs!

They are mission 70 mk2's

Ah gotcha, what is your budget? Those would easily be driven by something like a NAD D 3020 v2 which is compact and office friendly. You'd also get quite a bit of power and sonic capability as a result too.

Alternatively for something more budget friendly but still excellent for features and sound: https://www.amazon.co.uk/TOPPING-MX...eywords=topping+dac+amp&qid=1607175556&sr=8-9

Isn't that a headphone amp?

No the DX is a headphone amp, the MX is both.

But christ it looks like an old alarm clock lol

I think it looks timeless to be honest! In years to come it will look even more retro and these days retro modern is pretty cool.

Would the topping MX amp be able to power the Aego 2.1 speakers & sub? - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/acoustic-energy-aego-m-2.1-speaker-system-black-sp-000-ae.html

If not could you recommend some cheapish small speakers to go along with it for listening to music.

Thanks

The Aego doesnt need the seperate amp they are a powered setup (sub plugs into the wall).
