We are planning to buy the Linn Speakers AV5105 and Center Speaker with the Sunfire Subwoofer MKII. We have a Sony WEGA 36" TV. What would brands would you suggest for amp/preamp configurations?
THX.
Hola Pat . The distributor of Linn Co. in my country has a huge showroom with those speakers set-up with Proceed Processors , Runco , Data Lite and Linn Amplifiers . Could you indicate your budget for amp/pre , this way you can end up with a better recommendation .
We were looking to spend approx 10k on the preamp/amp
Pat , I have to admit that your budget is over my capabilities but if I were you , definetly , I would check out the Classe SSP-25 and SSP-75 . Both are preamplifiers & surround decoders . Check too their line of multichannel amplifiers .Look into the archives of SGHT for some other reviews .
Another thing , with all my respect , your TV set may be a little short of what you are planning to set-up. You may consider a less expensive pre-pro/amp combination and getting a new HDTD with big screen if your primary option here is video. If by the contrary , your preferense is audio , go for it first and stay with the TV , is less detrimental to the sound than a big screen in the middle of your soundstage.
I hope my comments can help you in some degree . Good luck.
