Amplifiers For Passive Monitors, is it worth it? Options

[beauty_speed]

hello all

i am considering the ADAM passive monitors ANF-10, mainly because they cost far less than a pair of P-11 active ones. I have listened to both the P-11 and the Genelec 8030A, and despite a variety of brands/models in this category (KRK, Event, M-Audio,Tannoy,even Dynaudio...) I believe these two are on a class of their own regarding sound quality, even if they are very different sounding speakers.

my doubt is how much will I have to pay for a decent power amplifier and what are the suggested brand/models, since I´m new to the whole passive monitors concept...

also I will use them for film post-production as well as music, so if there´s anyone outthere working on film sound I would welcome any specific input regarding this area.

Thanks for any suggestions and opinions.

Try Yamaha. I had two weeks with them recently and I was very impressed. I don't know if they're the best or not, but its a good place to start.
