Hi, this is rishiguru. I am currently in a state of confusuion of what to do. The thing is, as of now I am on a very tight budget and want to buy a decent amplifier for my pair of Sony SS-GN88D speakers.
This belongs to a Sony Mini-Hifi System MHC-GN77D that a guy bought six years back at Rs.28,000/--. The guy is a total noob in audio department, so he sold the speakers at Rs.1500/-
Speaker specification:
Speaker System: 3-way, 4-units, bass-reflex type (magnetically shielded)
Speaker Units:
Subwoofer : 8 inch X 1
Mid woofer : 3 inch X 2
Tweeter : 2 inch X 1
Rated Power : 150W per speaker
Nominal Impedence : 6 ohms
Dimension: 265 X 415 X 320 mm
Mass: 8.7 kg approx per speaker
------------------------------------------------------------
Now I am looking for a suitable amplifier within Rs.10,000 max. The problem is I live in Kolkata and it is very hard to find audiophile gear.
I have come in contact with a person who had bought the Norge 1000 Concerto Gold + Millenium Speakers at June,2011 from mumbai and wants to sell the amp at 10K because he is going for an upgrade.
Now I like bass and small mid woofers of Millenium speakers simply cannot produce anything below 60Hz. Also my budget limits me. Later I may think of a speaker upgrade.
Now my question is will i buy this amplifier? Also the amp is rated at 4 ohms. Can a 4 ohm Norge amp with the 6 ohm Sony speaker create problems like overheating or blowout?
And also, is a second hand Norge 1000 at 10k a good deal? Will i go for it?
He is ready to provide me the 3 year warranty card & purchase bill details. He is ready to give me an audition.
