There are a variety of brands that match up well, mostly because they can bring a little warmth or musicality to the very clear, transparent sound of the Atc‘s.

It’s true that you need a powerful amp to drive them, but don’t be discouraged.

This is like tripling the power of the amplifier in terms of its ability to drive speakers. It frees the power amp from 65% of the load it normally has to bear.

This addition to the Avian series provides an extraordinary advantage when using a subwoofer.

Raven says low bass is 65% of the power needs. It can then be lower power, and the speakers will sound better not trying to make low bass. You want to send the bass signals out to another amp, so your primary amp only needs to amplify upper bass, mids, and highs. And, make sure your preamp or integrated amp has PRE-OUT. Their specs appear to be honest regarding their limited ability to produce bass:ĭue to both limiting factors: start with the idea of eventually using a single or pair of self-powered sub(s). What size space, and what volumes will you be wanting?

All that makes it harder to try Tubes in the future. That increases the cost, size, weight, heat of required amps. LOW sensitivity Speakers need HIGH Powered Amps. You bought very inefficient speakers, low sensitivity. You've done the opposite of what I advise: try first to find efficient speakers you love, using sensitivity of 90 db as a starting goal. Well, not to be discouraging, but to be informative:
