Budget Amp for Boston Acoustic A70

[AudioData]

I’ve done a lot of research on speakers in the past but I know very little about amplifiers (I’ve only ever used AVRs). I have an old pair of Boston Acoustic A70s that I had refoamed. I’m looking for a basic/budget amplifier for them to listen to music. I don’t mind if it is new or used, but I’d like something that is relatively small (at not a full size AVR). Any suggestions? Ideally under $300.

Hi,

What sources do you want to amplify ?

Fair question. Most likely it would be an analog output from my computer or phone.

I think the ability to apply room correction is worth the cost of an amplifier at the limit of your budget.

Thanks! That’s exactly the kind of thing I’m looking for!

Yes it is! I have a WiiM Amp hidden behind my living room TV, it is great. Enough power to drive your a70 pretty loud. If you want crazy loud then a WiiM streamer plus outboard amp but that will total more money-and not all WiiM will do AirPlay, you have to check carefully.

You might also want to look at the Fosi Audio BT20a MAX amp - it's in your price range as well. Recent new amp from Fosi.

Thank you for the heads up.

The Fosi Audio BT20a MAX looks like a great option for users who do not need the built-in room correction feature and Parametric EQ of select WiiM devices.
