What are people using for voyager amplification in a home studio?
The stuff in this older thread would be overkill for my purposes.

I use a pair of Tapco s5 monitors by Mackie. They sound good, but have absolutely no low end. To compensate for this I use a separate subwoofer.
I have Alesis Monitor Ones with a Alesis RA-100 amp. Not great but got them used for very little.. One day ill splash out but been using these for about 4 years now so really got used to them..
Yeah, I’ve seen that. What beautiful engineering. I love how he places an iPod on it.
here’s Bob with the iMPAMP and Ashley, my apprentice. I was busy taking the picture. 8^)
i met Bob several times at the NAMM show. the second time i met Bob, i was in my booth and i heard a hearty laugh behind me as someone said “Shoot! It’s got little tubes in it! Bwahahahahaha.” i turned around and Bob was holding my nano head (the submini guitar amp i make). He asked me all about it, including the tube numbers (6021W) which he noted in a little black notebook he took from his shirt pocket. it made me very nervous… when i got back to Minneapolis i bought an extra 15 thousand of the tubes to make sure i wouldn’t run short. 8^)
Ha! Afraid Bob might steal your design? 
Hey Zachary, what city are you located out of?
oh, no, not the design. i thought he might design something new around the tiny tubes, and buy up all of the NOS parts out there! i’ve got a large portion of them secured now, so i can breathe a sigh of relief.
i’m a Minneapolis boy, born and raised.
Hey Zachary…
It’s Dave. How are you? Man you get around on these message boards. I thought everyone should see the imp !
well i do my job, and i do it well…
Thats such a midwest thing to say… You and Albini.
isn’t Albini in Chicago? maybe we both got the phrase from the same source… 8^)
from Chicago’s “Wishing You Were Here”
…And I’d like to change my life, and you know I would
Just to be with you tonight, baby, if I could
But I’ve got my job to do, and I do it well,
So I guess that’s how it is…
Either through Event ASP 8’s or an old Peavy KB300. Depends on what I want to “hear” 
.
Zac,
You are the best. Keep blowing our minds.
Sorry to get OT but how do you feel about Mid-Fi Electronics? He seems to be the only guy who isn’t tring to make some sort of Fuzz Factory clone or out weird your original. None other to your standards and sound quality of course.

I use a pair of JBL25 powered monitors for recording etc, all low volume stuff.
For playing and programming I have a Peavey 60/60 valve amp into a pair of Peavey Eurosys 2 speakers.
It needs a bit of EQ, but gives a great sound.
I also mike up some small guitar amps from time to time, but the Voyager frequently turns cones inside out at any useable volume!
i don’t pay much attention… i’m so busy! 8^)
I use Event 20/20s. They’re bangin 200Watts, clear and PRESENT highs and lows, my Voyager and MPC love em.
Hi,
I have two diffrent sets of speakers.
One is a pair of Genelic 1029A combined with the Subwoofer 1091A, which is powerfull and very clear, but handsome, because the speakers are very small.
The other set, which i use mainly, is a pair of ADAM P11-A. All i can say is wow! I know, they are not very cheap, and it could be a hard invest for a hobby musician, because with speakers alone, you can’t make music, but if you listening to the clear bright sound of some professional speakers you will never look back to the money you had spent!
One thing, i bought the Mackie Big Knob, which give you a fantastic control to your computer based DAW and speaker setup. I would say, the Big Knob is worth the money, even if you have just one pair of speakers.
Sorry for the bonehead question, I’m not a EE.
I noticed that’s got a line input. Do you need a matching transformer to hook a voyager up to it? My understanding was that instuments were always high-Z, and the Voyager works fine hooked up to my old bass amp (also high-Z).
BTW the owner’s manual does not state the output impedence, among many other things.
actually, most synth outputs are relatively low impedance. it sounds like a great application for the iMP, to me! 8^)
most of the time you can plug low impedance sources into high-impedance inputs and they’ll work alright. it’s not necessarily the best approach for noise, but it generally works.
