I think more speakers are blown by over-pushing lower powered amps than by clean higher power amps. I drove my A'Divas with a 100 watt Marantz receiver and the volume got louder than I could take before they showed any sign of failing. I just upgraded to Ref AVs across the front. I would try it and use a little discretion until you confirm how much they can take.
Am I going to blow the Gallo A'divas
Hi all,
I am in the process of building a gallo surround sound system. I have 3.0 in front, Ref AV center for center, and I would like to put the A'divas in the rear. My concern though is they will be hooked up to an Emotiva XPA-3 which outputs 300 watts into 4ohms. I will be crossing over the a'divas at 80hz but am I just asking to blow these or can they handle it?
