IME, most systems (the preamp sounds best in the 12-3:00 o'clock range). Many systems will not open up at such low volumes. Maybe you should try a headphone set up. You have some great electronics that seem to be handcuffed by limiting there ability to bloom and breathe. I can't imagine not getting 75 to 88db+ on some of my favorite tracks.
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?
