Cadence or MA Audio for my components.

[ExplicitUrSelf 10+ year member]

I have a pair of image dynamics ctx 6.5 components (4ohm). These put out 100 watts rms

A guy is selling me a Cadence XA 125.2 for $105 shipped this Cadence amp makes 80watts at 4ohm, is that enough power to power my components to sound good?

This other guy is selling me a used MA Audio HK398 amp for $110 and this amp makes 150watts at 4ohm.

I’m undecided on what to go with I’ve heard good things about cadence amps but haven't heard much about MA Audio amps I just want to get some amp that will make my components sound good, what do you gu7ys recommend? I wouldn't pay more then $110 for an amp.

Thanks

I Like An Opinion...should I Buy This Cadence Amp That Pushes 80 Watts At 4 Ohm To My 100 Watt Rated Comps. I Really What This Amp Since Its 10w 8l 2.3h But I Dont If 80 Watts Of Amp Power Is Goin To Push My Comps To Sound Good. What Do You Guys Think?

Go with the MA Audio. It wont put out the 150 watts but it will put out more than the cadence amp, that should be the only thing you are looking at with these amps.

I have had a MA Audio amp, didnt do rated power, but it was close and really had no problems with it.

Can you spend a bit more on the amp?
