New Member. As we begin to indulge our passion in music, We usually buy the best speakers we can on our budget. However in most cases I have seen that we cringe on Amplifiers. As far as I know the ratio should be 50% of total budget on speakers and 50% of total budget on a Amplifier.

How do I choose the right amp?
Generally you should pick an amplifier that can deliver power equal to twice the speaker’s program/continuous power rating. This means that a speaker with a “nominal impedance” of 8 ohms and a program rating of 350 watts will require an amplifier that can produce 700 watts into an 8 ohm load.
Is crunch a good amplifier?
4.0 out of 5 stars For the money, it’s a decent amp for many applications. Added this amp to a factory system in a Jeep Patriot. Replaced my stock 6×9’s that are in all 4 doors with some Kenwood 6×9 3 ways. Sounds very good, I ran each speaker on its own channel and it sounds like the speaker can’t handle the power.
Why do vintage amps sound better?
How old is “old”? If you mean guitar amps, they usually sound better because they were handmade (sturdier wiring in particular helps), and build quality aids sound quality.
Do tube amplifiers sound better?
Tube amplifiers sound better because of the euphonic distortions they add to the music, as well as plenty of other reasons I’ll cover below. The ways that tubes distort when pushed to the edge are much more musical than the artificial sounds that come from transistor amplifiers when overdriven.
