I'm starting to get the itch to research/purchase a 2 channel external amplifier for my Towers to determine if I can get even better performance when listening to music (usually via stereo 2.1). My budget is most likely approximately $1K and under. Started to research Emotiva and Parasound (The Halo brand looks out of my price range).
Does anyone have experience powering the Towers with an Emotiva amplifier? Parasound amplifier? If yes, any information on performance is appreciated.
Also, any recommendations for amplifier brands and models that I should look into would be great.
Save your money, the 4311 is more than enough for any Ascend speaker.
