suitable stereo amp to drive wharfedale 9.6 floorstnders.

[gannyboy]

Hello friends,

Please suggest me a reasonably powered stereo amp (2X100-150 w at 6 ohms) to drive my wharfedale 9.6 speakers. I have hooked them to my marantz AV receiver right now. I want to use a splitter to use the same speakers for stereo also. I did go through most of the related threads in our forum and outside also, but couldnt come to a conclusion.

Thanks in advance
ganesh

Gannyboy, Have you tried the NAD C372?

For a Wharfedale 9.6 a NAD 355BEE or C356BEE is more than enough and doesn't require a powerful amp as 372 or 375.

I have used both the NAD 352 and the S100+c272 pre power with my 9.6...sounds great ....use a switch to hook the 9.6 to my denon 1910 for movies...

denon PMA 700, the NAD 326,356 series , An arcam fj 28, a simaudio ( theres a 60rms int for sale at half MRP that i know of ) are all good choices depending on budget

Hav u Bi-Amped yr Wharfies 9.6..
From AVR we can Bi-Amp d speakers.. Is it possible to BiApm the speakers from a 2-channel Spetreo amplifier...
In tat case that switch u r using cannot be used... as AVR will send Biamp signals and stereo only single...

If we want to exploit d Biamping feature and use for Stereo setup also...?? how can dis be resolved...??
