Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Stereo receiver for M3's?

Yo fellas. I just got some M3's for my bedroom. I currently have a SC-1522-K receiver in my bedroom now. Not only is it too much of a receiver for my M3's, it emits a lot of heat, and as a result, my bedroom is 3-4 effin' degrees Fahrenheit hotter than the rest of the house; it's a bloody space heater.

So, I was wondering if a two channel class D receiver would put out less heat. If so, what would be a good budget friendly receiver that can sufficiently power the M3's?

Thanks,

Cam

Hmmm...... Are these good?

Cam, that amp will work and it's ample for your room. But dude, winter's coming so 3 to 4 degrees warmer may be a good thing.

Yo, Mojo! How are you doing?

Thanks for the link and confirmation, guys. I did forget to mention that it has to have a USB plug because I need to connect it to my computer for audio playback. That appears to have one but it says "sevice", so I don't know if it would work(??). Also I did regularly crank my Paradigm monitor 9's in my bedroom. Will that little thing (or a different one with USB support) push my M3's near what I did with my 9's?

I found this with USB support - this

Thoughts? Maybe a different one that you're aware of?


Thanks

Okay, so the reviews say that it doesn't have a USB port, so I would need something similar.

Edit - This has a USB port "asynchronous Type-B USB input for connecting a computer

accepts signals up to 24-bit/384kHz". If that will work. Not enthusiastic about the price, but it is what it is.

This one is cheaper but would probably produce more heat - link

Trade your M3 in for M3 PC speakers. USB included.

Well, the M3's were B-stock Walnut Bordeaux that I got for $466, so I'm not returning them . USB wouldn't really work anyway because the inexpensive thin speaker wire is in my wall.

You can take a flier on this. Cheaper than the NAD with USB input. The PC must serve the files though.
