I just read a review of the ELAC Uni-Fi speakers from another reputable website. According to their review the speakers are a great deal and sound amazing. And that has been the consensus on these speakers from every review I have read. However, this review indicated that "Extra Power" was needed to power these speakers.
I am fairly new to the audiophile community and have learned from the people on here who know WAY more than I that speakers is where you put the money. I am looking to get an A/V receiver in the next few months and these are the speakers that I want to add to go with my home theatre. According to Gene, he says when purchasing an A/V receiver make sure you have some pre-out so that you can add some more power if necessary. Sounds like that is the case with these speakers? With that being said, if I just go with an A/V receiver which brand is recommended? These speakers come with a 4ohm rating, so I'm thinking I need a receiver that has enough wattage to push these speakers?
I'm not trying to cut corners, but I have heard these speakers on a Demo, and I wasn't sure what equipment was pushing them, and I'm trying to stay within a budget of $5000 with speakers, Receiver, projector and screen. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks guys!
