How to drive the Energy C-100?

[ivan2]

So i went on an impulse buying and got 4 Energy C-100s from woot last night. But then I am concern that if my T-amp can drive them well, since they aren't the most efficient things.

So please, give me some ideas on what power amp to use to drive them. Please keep in mind that the speakers itself were $80 a pair, so I would like the amp to have comparable price/value ratio. Stereo or 4+ channel doesn't matter, as long as it's a good amp I am willing to split them up and having a set in the living room and a set in the bedroom, no problem.

Oh btw some ideas for a cheap woofer too? Local deals welcome cuz shipping usually eat into the cost of them...

Something like this

would probably fit your budget.

It can power two different sets of speakers... not sure if that really helps or not if they're in rooms that cannot be wired together.

Partsexpress has cheap subwoofers too. The ones from dayton have high level inputs so you could hook up one with each pair of speakers running the speaker wire through the subs on the way to each set of speakers.

The t-amp should be fine for normal listening. I use a set of c-100's for fronts in my home theater.
