I just want to amplify the control room outs of
a Mackie 1402VLZ Pro for recording and general use.
Perhaps there is a reason that the price sounds
reasonable?

Also, I know that amps and speakers seem to have
ways of grossly inflating their watt ratings. I'm
not really sure how much I need? My current (30 year old)
receiver is rated at 40 watts, and I don't normally turn
it up more than half way. I was wondering though, if
it's better to get a more powerful amp just because it
will be able to handle what I need so easily? I was thinking
too however, that maybe the more powerful amp would be
noisier.

My speakers are likely 8 ohm. They are Energy C7's. I know
you guys don't like them. After the amp, I'll go for some
decent monitors, and bug you all about that when the time comes.

Thanks,

Tobiah
