Thanks for the reply! What's your opinion about using the combination in a 15x18' room though with a lot of resonance? High wood ceiling, wood floor, drywall. I have a small upright piano and the sound is enormous in the room. A pianist listening from outside street remarked that it sounds like a grand piano. So, although the room's size seems to be of a concern, its sound handling is quite efficient. In using the LS50's with the TU-8200DX, if I want to turn it up sometimes for early Elvis Costello, say, am I going to be disappointed?
For reference, in my office, I have JBL LRS 305 monitors on my desk with volume controlled by an SMSL SD793-II and for me, this would actually be plenty of sound for the larger room; actually it's a bit more than I need for this sizable office. Based on your description above and mine here, you can see I have very little knowledge. Your input on this would be appreciated. I bought the LS50 speakers when they were on sale. Haven't used them yet and won't even get my hands on them for a bit; unfortunately, I won't be able to sample amps.
