Amplifiers

[dwleo]

Hi,
I'm a relative newbie to the Home Theater scene. I got a set of shakers but need an amplifier to drive them separate from the subwoofer. Question is:
How powerful should I get ( 100 watt?) and what is a good amp to use for these.
Thanks.

I take it you got one of the Aura bass shakers? - was it the pro or the normal?

If it was the normal, you only need a smallish amp to drive them, I use an old Pioneer amp (1970's model) which is about 15wpc (funnily enough, I hooked the amp up to a pair of normal speakers to see what it sounded like, and it was actually quite listenable).

I think the Pro's need a little more grunt, but I wouldnt think more than say 50wpc

Thanks.
Yes, it is the Pro model. I'll see what I can dig up for it.
