Yeah, I know the MA252 is very good but it is only 100W. Is it enough for 805 Diamond? Normally I see people use 150W or more amplifier?
@truongv0ky I own a pair of the way earlier B&W 805 Matrix speakers, and I do not know if they are a similar load to drive as the 805 Diamonds are (from memory I believe mine have an efficiency rating of 87dB, a nominal impedance of eight ohms), but I am currently driving them with a Cary amp that is switchable between 50 watts/triode and 100 watts/ultralinear and I honestly prefer the triode alternative. However, one of the rooms I have used to listen in is on the small side of medium and the other is positively small.
