Amp advice :: stereo sub outs?

wrote: hi there ... hi-fi novice here, new to the board and looking for some amp advice! I finally have the space to fire up an ancient pair of rather large hand made speakers from the 70s/80s. The bass units are about a meter tall and have Quad Raceway Drivers. The mids + highs are separate and also Quad. Currently they have an early crossover unit splitting the signal three ways. Are you sure you are not talking about a system with KEF units? Can anyone recommend a decent integrated amplifier for about £200 - £400 that would be suitable, A well sounding one would be suitable ... O;-) ... if the system is what I think it is then it has a nominal powerhandling of some 40 watts and a sensitivity of 10 watts to produce 96 dB. possibly with a stereo sub woofer output for the bass units? No. Based on the asumption that it is a system with KEF B139, B110 and T27 that is not what you do, at least not if the x-over is also from KEF. On your skill level you look for say a Rotel or Cambridge amp with some 2 X 60 watts. If you want to go electronic, then you go look for the required skill to actually implement such a setup and a Behringer DCX2496 and three not too big poweramps. Nad had a 3 X 2 X 30 watt poweramp once upon a time, a very neat and tidy way to provide power to such a box with an active cross-over. Just my opinion, your mileage may matter. There are some quirks to be aware of, read in rec.audio.tech ... In fact any advice on what would be appropriate would be great! If there's any more info I should give just let me know. An image would help. It is not very likely but it _is_ slightly possible that I have identified the system incorrectly, in which case the above suggestions are null and void. This really is rec.audio.tech stuff, and mostly there is less traffic over there, so I added a followup-to: header pointing thataway, meaning that if you follow up without actively altering the target newsgroup the follow up will appear there and not here. Kind regards Peter Larsen C. yes ... you are absolutely right. they are KEF units ... just a typo on my part. i think i had QUAD amps on the brain when i wrote the original post! will try and post some pics. thanks!
