Re: What speakers are you using and how large is your room? (nt)

Mission speakers, for the most part, are usually very efficient speakers. The Marantz MA-700 amps are more powerful, but I'm not sure that you need more than the 100 wpc MA-500's. The Marantz amps have a very detailed, yet mellow sound and do not exaggerate the top end (nor do they roll it off). These are very good sounding amps and should be placed on audio grade component shelving for best sound (as all equipment should). If you do not see yourself upgrading anytime in the future, the MA-500's should be all you need. If you think you will upgrade your speakers to less efficient speakers in the near future, I'd go with the MA-700s (REALLY good sounding amps). For even better sound, remove the manufacturer factory installed feet from the amps and set the amps up on brass cones (3 for each amp).
