Hi guys,
Been powering my 150 watt hybrid audio imagine coaxials with my old ass alpine amp and it is FINALLY starting to give out terrible distortion at anything near listening volume. This alpine is from the mid 90's and it has treated me well.
I'm looking for a nice quality 2 channel amp that wont strain to play my 150watt speakers or break the bank. I'm a huge "bang for the buck" kind of guy and I am down to explore beyond the "big" brands if there is some perceived extra value there.
I just want to make a purchase and have it be done, i don't switch equipment around much, so I don't mind shelling out a little extra for a piece of equipment that will last me 10+ years if I treat it right.
I'm really not too familiar with brands/models, so anything you could throw at me would be appreciated.
Also quick question. Can the distortion at low volume damage the speakers?
