Decent Inexpensive Stereo Amp Suggestions?

[Ray745]

I have an extra pair of P5 bookshelfs from the speaker company that I want to use for my PC speakers. They support power handling of 10-100 wpc at 8 ohms, 89db sensitivity. I'm not looking to drive them like crazy for PC music listening, but would like more than the minimum power output. Since this is just for PC listening I'm not looking to spend a ton here, so does anyone have any suggestions for decent stereo amps for me to look at?

Thanks a lot

You need an integrated amp. If you can find one used from the 70's in decent shape, that would be your least dear option. Check yard sales, wsap meets, church sals or whatever. Even Epay if you're feeling froggy.

If you're looking new then a receiver will be cheaper than any integrated amp I can think of. This is about as low as you can spend for a decent (or any) one.

If you don't need a ton of output, you could probably go with a TCA Gizmo:

It was sort of designed with PC setups in mind and their own speakers, the WAF-1s, are only 86dB sensitive, so it should be able to provide sufficient output with your speakers. It is small and they also offer the risk free in-home demo.

Not sure of you idea of inexpensive, but this a nice little unit.
