Rogers Studio 1A's, Best Amp/preamp combo with?Any sugestions about the getting the best possible sound out of the Rogers Studio 1A's? Some people have recommended the Arcam amps, but I am
skeptical. Do the Arcams give the speakers enough power to really get the
most bass and heft out of these speakers?Thanks
Joe

used these for about 5 years - you need some current from your amp to get their best - i was never successful with tubes. i used a threshold sa3. only 50w class a but great sound - as i recall the rogers had an efficiency rating of about 86db. i'd be looking for a used amp which doubled its power rating at 4 ohm. if you like a slightly softer sound you might get a good effect with muse amp. good luck-
Been running mine with a 25W Cary 845 integrated with good results. My room is on the small side though.Thomas
I used to have a pr. Cant say I heard them with the Arcam. I used two amps with mine: NEC 50mkII 50wpc and a Adcom 555 200wpc. I thought the Adcom pretty much blew the NEC out of the water in every aspect. I would recommend at least a good 100wpc amp with good tight control. The Adcom Mkii versions have a better smoother treble than the original, but both versions are great bass amps. Also a GOOD pr of heavy sturdy stands will help a lot too. I had a pr of 18" steel stands with lead shot that helped a great deal. Good Luck
