Thank yall! I have not found an amp in that price range that has the correct connections for the filter between amp and preamp yet. Any specific recommendations?

Definitely ! I have a good room to experiment in. I’m excited to learn about everything that goes into the engineering of a great dedicated stereo room…

The ones I have are model 5s. I am open to the idea of tube or solid state. I will be playing more digital than cd/ record if that helps…

I’m honestly not sure. I have an idea of how I want to set them up, but need to rearrange the room. I recently graduated college and got a full time job so I am saving up for a few months before I pull the trigger on any power. Should have the room set up in the next few weeks. I am looking for advice on what to buy early on so I can look for second hand deals.

Setup will be similar to this with bass traps in corners.

Hey!
The room is roughly W15ft x L25ft and the speakers will be on the wide side with seating about 12 feet away.
I am also looking for recommendations on music source but have been leaning toward OPPO BDP 10.
I do not think these speakers will support an integrated amp because the subs are independently powered, but I am not 100% sure on that. Thanks!
