What would be a very clean,and quiet, power amp for a set of Dynaudio BM 15
passive speakers? How much would it cost? The powered ones have 200 watts
on each woof/tweet .,trying to see the advantage of built-in vs outboard ,in
money,and performance

A 100 watt $150 pioneer stereo reciever will sound great. Or you can buy
a reference lab amp like my crown and put them side by side and try to guess
which one is playing. Consumer receivers are very good is what I'm saying.
Your bang for the buck goes into multi thousand dollar mode to really make
a difference after that.

I've been using crowns and they have worked well. If you have more than one
set of monitors (which I use) it made sence to go passive and share an amp
but if you use just one set you may want to go powered...
