Recommended amplifier/receiver for stereo 250 watt Pro Audio Studio Monitors

[buyabook]

Hello

I am looking for an amplifier/receiver to connect my computer to both my studio monitors to play mp3s/movies off my computer through an spdif out or an HDMI out or standard 7.1 3.5 mm. jacks. I would prefer a digital output seeing as I don’t want to lose on sound quality.

There are two studio monitors. They are of the Pro Audio brand. The monitors have a tweeter horn, midrange woofer diameter of 6 inches and 12 inch diameter woofer on the bottom. The front plate has the following information on it:

1. power 250 watts program
2. min pwr 5 watts
3. nominal impedance 8 ohms
4. sensitivity 95 dB 1W/1M
5. Digital Ready
6. Liquid Cooled

I could not find a model number on these speakers. I also cannot tell if these speakers are of high quality.

Can you please recommend an appropriate amplifier to fulfill this purpose that will help me experience the true potential of these studio monitors? Looking at how big that woofer is, I feel the bass is not reaching its through potential and I am hoping there is something I can buy to improve overall sound quality. For the past 5 years, they have been connected to a panasonic sahe75 5.1 receiver that outputs 100 watts per channel. I want a worthwhile upgrade that can show me what I’ve been missing.

Also, can I gain any significant improvement in sound quality if I purchased a higher quality amplifier (Yamaha rxa -730) or a NAD stereo receiver compared to my current receiver (Panasonic SAHE75) that I bought for 300$ retail.

Liquid Cooled + Pro Audio brand = screams white van scam to me

Model number, hell. I can't even find that brand on the internet.

In any case. just because they claim to be able to handle 250 watts doesn't mean you need to feed them that much, nor do they claim they sound anything except pure distortion if you do. Besides, if they are anywhere near that claimed 95 db sensitivity they should blow your eardrums out, or reach their full potential, with a 50 watt amp. I think they might be operating at their full potential already. Size isn't everything.

Any speaker that claims "digital ready" as a selling point is grasping for credibility.
