Hi
Two issues here. I just bought a pair of JBL940s (which sound wonderful btw). The problem I am attempting to avoid is that they are 4 ohm speakers, and my amp is rated 8-16 ohms. I don't want to burn up my amp, so I guess I am now in the market for a decent amp that can drive 4 ohms safely.
Tube would be out of my range, so solid state seems to be my only option. Any suggestions? I don't have to have a tuner, so an amp alone will suffice. (one that has hook ups to CD player, a graphic eq and (a bonus) two turntables would be great. One TT is obviously a minimum requirement.
Second issue: The JBLs have no speaker grills, and JBL asks over $100 each! I paid $159 for the pair of speakers at Salvation Army as it is! Any suggestions for that problem?
Since I have no cats roaming around with front claws, I guess grills aren't a necessity.
