So I'm babysitting a friends speakers whilst he goes travelling - they're Monitor Audio BR6s so pretty decent I think?
Anyway, he's given me a spare amp for the time being which is a Yamaha DSP-A2 so designed for surround sound plus it's the size of a house
I know nothing about amps and speakers but I do know that this amp is more for home theatre rather than TV and PS4 that ours gets used for.
Am I likely missing out on anything using this with just 2 main speakers? I presume its designed to work with at least 4 speakers and I cba with that to be honest, plus I don't have the room.
If I would be better off with a more dedicated stereo amp can anyone recommend me a decent slimline amp that I can pair with these speakers?
Feel free to educate me if what I've written is utter rubbish!
Thanks!
