Hey Everyone,

I’m finishing up a pair of DIY Samba MT Bookshelves as a summer project. They will be going in front of my TV and now I need to find an amp that preferably has a remote with at least two RCA inputs. This will be my first introduction into the bookshelf world and I’m curious if they’re any go to amp recommendations at this price point.

87 dB 1W/1m
4 ohms
70 watts RMS / 140 max

So i would consider an Emotiva a 150($300) power amp and then any receiver/pre amp/volume control with a remote. Some dacs even have volume control and remote. The power amp will set you up with plenty of power and will sound great. As long as your volume control source has a pre out, you hook that to your power amp inputs.

Iotavx SA3 - check some reviews. Mine is an absolute beast, love it with the Klipsch RP600Ms. Later you can add the PA3 power amp too and run them as monoblocks.
