What receivers/amplifiers do you use to drive you Arendal setups?

I’m curious, What receiver/preamp/source and/or amplifiers do you use with your Arendal speakers? Have you tested brands that worked better than others? I’m curious to know what you guys are using!

I’m using a Yamaha RX-A2060 to power a pair of 1961 Monitors and a 1723 Sub 1v and it sounds great! I might add a dedicated amplifier down the line if I get something bigger, but I definitely don’t feel like I’m missing much with my current setup.

Awesome seeing so many replies!

My RX-A2060 is from 2016 but it holds up really well considering the years are starting to add up. The only thing it’s “lacking” is the newer stuff like HDMI 2.1, but that’s not fully in use even today so that’s not very strange.

I’m personally very fond of getting good/higher-end stuff and paying a little more, instead of cheaping out and having the product break.

Integra DRX-R1. Enough power and clean sound. Nö distortion or harshbess at louder levels

Not many people using the Integra. My last Integra experience was the RDC-7.1 & RDA-7.1 around 2006:)

I am using Parasound A51 and A21. they sound great and are 250Watts per channel @ 8 Ohms and 400 wats per channel @ 4 Ohms.

I am using Anthem AVM60 for processing. I like the combination!
