Hi!
First time getting into this space, I just ordered a KEF Q350 and Kube 10" and am looking for an amp to run them both in a small room. Budget under $300
I've mainly looked for amps that have a sub out and that was really my only criteria, only now am I starting to think about power, distortion, crossover, etc.
I've widdled it down to:
SMSL A300
Fosi DA2120C
LOXJIE A30
AIYIMA A08 PRO
AIYIMA D03
1. I don't think any of these has the ability to adjust the crossover for the sub, and to my understanding, I can't use the crossover on the Kube if I use LFE. Is there a configuration around this? Is it even worth it?
2. Should I prefer higher powered amps? It's only a small room desk setup, but my thinking is higher power gives me more headroom/less stress on the amp, makes me lean towards the SMSL or and the A08 Pro. Does it matter?
Any opinions would be much appreciated I've read great things about the A30 but it's not as powerful, Fosi and Aiyima seem like good deals with questionable QC, and the A300 has little info on youtube but here I've read its a decent clinical sounding amp.
