I don’t find my 260x3 very powerful. My McIntosh MC2100 is old and half the watts and louder. The amp does seem to clip if you drive it. It doesn’t have a volume control so if you stream by Bluetooth you will have to use your cell phone volume control. This is unfortunate because the best signal is when the cell is up full. Now, I am using this for the 3 fronts in home theater. It was probably designed for whole house ceiling distribution like the TOA’s, Idk. I would rate it as a 3/5
