If the listener considers 80db loud, then CH 100 watt amp should work. The listener should be able to achieve 98dB peaks at the listening position before the amp exceeds its rated power. The Egglestons are not a demanding load and the CH is a robust design. Based upon the information supplied by the OP, I would go with quality over quantity.
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?
