aloias' are conservatively rated at 30 watts but actually measure out at about 75 watts.i have vr5s and the aloia will play loud enough to make my ears bleed. you will not be unhappy with them.
Aloia's and Power
I purchased an Aloia inductive powered preamp last year which I am thorougly enjoying. It's mated with an Ayre V-3 power amp rated at 100 watts. Recently, I've wondered what an Aloia inductive powered amp would do for my system, and I noticed there are a number of people on this site with the Aloia amp. My question is, will I experience a loss in my ability to play music loud with a 30-watt Aloia amp versus my 100 watt Ayre? I'm using Meadowlark Shearwater speakers, which at 89 DB are easy to drive so that shouldn't be a problem. But I don't want to loose too much in the way of volume, as I do like to crank it up once in a while. Thanks for any light Aloia users can shed on this subject. It does appear to be one honey of an amp.
