Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2011 - 12:20 GMT Hello,
Sorry for being an idiot, first
So I have this weird situation. I bought these speakers "Canton Vento 870 DC" as a present to my father because I got them really cheap in comparison to what they cost normally.
At that time I did not think about all of this things I get to read in this forum now (sensitivity, power, ...) because the guy who sold it to me was kind of hitting on me and he told me to just buy a Denon with an output of 50W that was there on the shelf.
So I come here and I see that the situation is very very different.
Could you please help me identify what kind of amplifier do I need to buy? I can't really spend something like 1000 USD. I can tell you my father listens to some kind of world music, ethno, and jazz occasionally.
Is there any way out of this or should I tell my father to go beat up the guy in the store? ;)
Thanks,
K. |

Do you have any return priviledges with the Canton's? How long have you owned them? Is there anything on your receipt stating "sold as is" or "no returns"? |

I don't know. How willing is your dad to go beat the guy up? Do you think he could?
How do you know you need something other than what the guy at the store suggested? Have you played the speakers? How'd they sound to your father? What amplifier was he using?

Posted on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 - 17:22 GMT im just a little curious on why this dealer deserves to be " beat up" because he suggested somthing that he thought would work with the speakers? |
