Ill be using the 22’s as monitors, for video editing/computer speakers. The computer is currently also my TV, so the speakers will be used a decent amount. Just need an amp, not a receiver.. price range, sub 400$?...

I know you said not a receiver but I would suggest the HK 3480.If you would like you could always just use the amp section.

the reason i nixed the reciever ide, was if i was to buy a new reciever, i would buy a new pre/reciever for my HT and move my current reciever to the computer set up.. i would rather guy a "killer" reciever for the HT than buy an inexpensive one for the audio.

How about something like this Audiosource amp

Here is another one from Onkyo

thanks for the links wid, i did about 8 hours of research yesterday, and came up with very little on 2 channel amps, that have less than 200W.... the one place that i found an abundance of 2 channel semi low power amps was DJ amps. So at the moment I think I am going to go with one of them. I was looking at http://www.music123.com/Gemini-P07-i137876.music One reason I can find it other places online for right at 100$ and it has the 2 meters, so while video editing I can see if both channels are actually level or not.. but again, thanks for the tips, I didn’t see that 50W by audio source….




One more thing, how do you make the text a link, what’s the syntax?

[url = link ] name [ / url]

Of course there is no spaces in between.

Where, of course, link is the url and name is the text you want to have appear, eg.

name

I had to replace "link" with "http://link" myself or the board SW wouldn't recognize it as a URL. Whatever URL you type is what appears...

From the FAQ page

[url=link] title [/url] = Makes the given title into a hyperlink pointing to link.

I'd look in audiogon for a used Rotel.

Here's a couple...

Rotel RB-980BX $290
Rotel RB-980BX $325 obo

Welcome back, Craig!

Thanks. I'm still busy as heck, and about to start HP4, so don't get used to seeing much of me.

Hi dakkon
If you are dollar conscious, I recommend you find a nice T-Amp for about $20-30. 10 watts per channel into 8 ohms. Sound quality is excellent. Believe me when I tell you that under normal conditions your M22s are being driven by less than 1/2 watt whatever amp you're using. You can either go through AA batteries or pick up a regulated power supply for another $25-30. Put the $350-400 you save into your Axiom sub fund.

I agree. The diminutive T-amp -- it's about the size of a VHS tape -- is really an amazing bargain.

An Onkyo M-282 or Audiosource Amp Two would fit the bill fine.

Heres the deal, my “real” system is a Marantz sr6300 with a Marantz m9000 5 channel receiver/amp.. with a pari of 60’s, qs8’s, vp150 and ep600.. so the reason for the m22’s was it will represent more accurately the system most people will have.. maybe I will just use my “real” system.. and forgo the whole m22’s idea.. plus m22’s are much smaller.. so I don’t know.. just kind of brain storming at this point at time.


thanks fo the t amp idea though, that is a great one.

Who will you be mixing for -- what's your target audience?

family mainly.. maby co workers. dont know for sure.

I have the Yamaha RX-V657 (600$ CND.) with the M22ti and it's an excellent combo.

For 400$ CND I would go with the Yamaha RX-V457.
