The D-200's drive the living crap out of them. One of my amigos swears I got a subwoofer hidden somewhere. Nope! No sub. Just great power from the D-200's
I picked up a set of Revel F52s and a C52 a few weeks ago. These are 88db 1 watt I think. Mighty fine speakers but I feel the Denon 4800 I am using sounds a bit harsh when I crank up the volume. Revel suggests something like 200-250 watts/ch to fully power these. The reviews on the Revels claim they are capable of massive dynamics without signs of stress when fed properly.
I looked at a lot of other possibilities but I didn't want to get some sort of Class A space heater that produces music as a side effect along with about a kilowatt of waste heat. My dealer was recommending something like this but when I added up the electrical cost it would run me as much as the amp over a few years. So I thought I'd give Class D a try. I didn't like some of the aspects of the design of the Icepower jobs, so I eventually ended up here.
Anyway I appreciate your comments in view of the speakers you have. I have a lot of respect for the VR-4s.
I am thinking of putting the amps on some sort of stand directly behind the speakers and running about a foot of speaker wire. Eventually I might feed them directly off a DAC like the Lavry Black.
What do people use for amp stands for these? They are much smaller than the typical 200W monoblocks.
