I have an 8 watt EE Mini-max integrated driving a pr of Silverline Preludes in my bedroom, sounds sweet.
As I said, EE build quality is second to none, real pride of ownership.

Amp upgrade for Revel M20 speakers
The EE M88 looks really interesting but I have no idea if 40W of tube amplication will be enough for the Revel M20s. They are rated at 87dB efficiency and I listen up to levels of 100dB peak at about 10 feet from the speakers. Does anyone out there have experience with either the M20s or similar moderate efficiency speakers with medium power tube amplifiers? |
Jblack16, take a look here at the Stereophile Measurements for the M20. I think they indicate that the speaker is not best suited for a tube amp, especially one that is 40 watt. Also, their estimated sensitivity is lower than what is specified for the speaker. http://www.stereophile.com/content/revel-performa-m20-loudspeaker-measurements This link contains a calculator that will allow you to plug in a SPL level, speaker sensitivity, and distance, then give you the required power for those parameters. http://www.allegrosound.com/Power_AllegroSound.html Hope this helps. |
