Thanks Plato. The 350w was a peak, and I am not looking for more power, but actually less, so I don't damage the speakers. I can't seem to find the power handling specs of these speakers. I will look into the wired.
better the mc2500 for 2500.00 used
Hi, I am looking for suggestions for a possible new amp. I just acquired a pair of Dahlquist dq-10's and I am using a McIntosh MC2500. Can I get better performance from an amp that will mate well with these speakers for 2000-2500. 00, tubes would be nice. I was also considering changing my preamp from a Cary slp-98 to a Mac preamp ( c-22, c-220, c-2200 ) for a better possible synergistic match.
I am not sure how much these speakers can be driven, I blew the fuses already, but they were 2a, not 3a. I have replaced with 3a fuses and have had no further issues, even though I have had the meters on the mac pegged at about 300-350 watts already.
Is there a "safer" amp for me? I didn't find the volume super, super loud at this level, maybe they were old fuses?
Any thoughts or suggestions.
