Hello AK, once again I emerge from my lurking to ask some advice on my next audio purchase.

As some of you may remember, I purchased a pair of JBL 4410's in June of last year.

I have been powering them with an interim Pioneer SA-1060 I had laying around from an old system I built in high school.

My question today is whether I should pair a Yamaha CR-620 with them OR save a little bit extra and pony up for a CR-820/CR-1020.

(Pictures of the JBL's and CR-620 included because everyone complains when I do not add pictures.)

I wish I would've purchased the 1020 that was selling locally when I was in HS, at $200 mint condition with original box and manual it was a STEAL compared to todays prices.

Anyways, what say you o' lords of audio?

I guess I'm just not sure if it's worth it for an extra 10 WPC from the CR-820 and the CR-1020 is just too much for me right now.



You're right there, but I don't think I've ever really turned my volume above 1/4 with 100 WPC.
why do you even bother to ask for our advice if you already know what you want to hear?

I just want to hear some advice, I legitimately have not made up my mind and am trying to figure out what option is the best. I agree going with the best I can afford is a good route to go, I just really wonder if the 20 WPC (not 10 as I previously stated :rflmao:) upgrade is necessarily worth it if I don't listen at loud volumes. Also, if anyone has advice as to whether one just sounds better than the other in their opinion.
