Folks,
After three years of auditions in India and the US (and many hours of reading of this forum), I bought Focal Corus 714v. (temporarily connected to a very old kenwood AVR). Now, i want to buy an intergrated amp to complete version 1 of my audio system.
Will Marantz MP5004 suffice? I am looking at spending just enough money for a respectable setup.
Some data:
1. My wife and i are music lovers and mostly listen to classical music (90% Hindusthani classical, 10% western classical).
2. My local dealer suggested Marantz MP 5004 (which ia at great price on HiFiMart). Another dealer tried to say that Focal 714 will need at least Marantz MP6004.
3. Focal 714v are 8 ohm speakers and specs say that Recommended amplifier power is 25 - 150W.
Marantz MP 5004 specs say Output Power: 35 W (8 ohms)
Marantz MP 6004 specs say Output power: 2 x 70 Watts at 8 Ohms
Thanks!
