Advice on amp to push passive studio monitors?

[StratMatt]

Hi all,

I have a couple of passive B&W speakers I was using in my home theatre setup. They're now not getting used for anything and I figure I can use them as my computer monitors. I'm wanting something reasonably cheap and cheerful to power these and will allow me to run the outputs of my Scarlet interface into for music listening and a bit of playing.

No idea what I'm looking for here, any advices? Thanks.

I have been using a Nobsound 100watt a channel little amp to run my B&W 684 Towers and it is plenty capable to run them (coming out of my pre-outs of surround sound amp) I’ve also run my DM600s with them and they sounded the best I’ve heard them!
It’s cheap and cheerful but has been working great for me for at least 2 years....and even has Bluetooth!

This looks like it but different brand.

How does your nob sound?

Class D amplifiers are getting great. I've got one that's about the size of a deck of cards, and powerful enough to make my floor standing speakers shake.

Hehe, Nobsound. I've wondered about those in the past, good to know it lasts a decent while. Will have a filter through and find one that ships to NZ.

Unfortunately I can’t get my ear close enough to have a listen! But if I could I’d imagine it would sound like a 100watt Marshall on 11!

If you hear that sound at the close distance you need, you will never hear another thing again in your life I imagine!

I've got one of these lying around unused (including speaker cables and power supply)

20 watts RMS per side. Takes RCA input.

Couple of hand shandies would do it
