I have mine hooked up to my computer. They are being powered by a very old Yamaha P-2200. It has to be at least four rack spaces tall which is hilarious considering it is all of 100 watts per side. It works fine though. I would imagine any quality power amp will give you quality sound through your 6.5s.

The 6.5 always loved the Hafler 9500 and 9505(look for either one used) better than the Brystons(too dark sounding).

I have mine on a quad 404-2 audiophile amp. Tried the Bystons, qsc, and the hafler. I'm happy with where I ended up.

Crown D-75's are available on Ebay for around $200. I've had several D-75/PBM 6.5 II systems. Works very well.

Ummm...

It's black. 2 rack spaces...uhhh...150 watts a side at 8ohms...hmmm...Right now it's residing on top of my consoles power supply.


It's an amp.

What else can I say? There's TON's of headroom there and it sounds good. Or should I say it doesn't sound like anything?!
