It doesn't really matter how powerful the amp is. That's what the volume control is for.
180W 4ohm Bryston amp too much for 150W 4ohm SF?
Hi all,
I am looking at upgrading my system and am trying to match my Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor Ms to a suitable amplifier. Criteria: I am limited on space so the amplifier must be 14" deep or less. Thus I narrowed it down to 1. Bel Canto Ref150S (not preferred b/c it is a Class D Amp). 2. Bryston 2.5B SST2
Just wondering if the Bryston 2.5BSST2 180W into 4ohms will be too much for my Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M (which are rated at 150W 4 ohms without clipping). By "too much" I mean will the speaker be overpowered to the point of potential damage to the internal bits? Bryston literature for the 2.5 did not say but I am pretty sure the 180W into 4ohm rating does not include clipping.
Is it safe to go the Bryston 2.5B SST2 route? Thoughts?
