I think you’ll be sorry. I’ve tried 100, 150, 200 watts, and it took a Pass X250 to wake my Aerial Acoustics 7B’s. Sure the other amps could drive them but I had to crank it to get them to sing and then I felt the amps were still struggling a little. With the bigger Pass, even at lower volumes which I tend to play most often, my system sounds great. With the other lower powered amps, listening to lower volume wasn’t at all enjoyable. Would love to try a Pass X350.8 in my system.
100 watts enough?
Hi all. I'm contemplating purchasing a CH Precision A1 and I don't know if it will drive my speakers adequately. I have EgglestonWorks Andra III speakers which are 88db efficient (impedance 8 ohms nominal, 6 ohms minimal). I have a 30x20ft room and I sit about 14ft from the speakers. I live in a condo and have almost nothing between me and my neighbor so I don't ever crank up the volume. I use a VAC Renaissance preamp that I almost never crank past 9 o'clock. The Andra III is a speaker that likes lots of power to open up. So what do you think?
