Amp Selection for a novice

[runner1960]

I building a new house and equiping it with my dream come true of ML speakers. Since I am a novice in high end systems I need advice on the amp to power the Vantage speakers - the room is fairly big - 60 x 40 - living room/great room
Any help would be appreciated. I want to spend on the entire system ~ 20K

Hello,
Welcome. Many here are quite partial to Sunfire, McIntosh, Pass Labs, Parasound, and Aragon. Just to name a few. Given the size of your Room, you really might want to consider perhaps a used pair of Summits or Spires, a Stage Center Channel and then moving the Vantages to the Surrounds.

Even then, the size of your setup sounds more suited to the Statements than any currently available or recently discontinued Model. While I love my Vantages, I am not sure how well they would sound in a 60x40 Room.
Cheers,
JJ

Welcome. Thats a very large room. I would think the CLX's would work. That would be over your budget just for the speakers. Maybe a used pair of Summits, or Summit X would work.
