The amperes/channel spec is basically meaningless along with most other ampere ratings. Current is a function of (ohm) load and will swing as the load varies across the frequency range. My rule of thumb is picking a reputable (voltage source) amp that doubles its power as the load is halved is usually a good starting point. Adding a class A design is icing on the top if the extra heat is not a concern. Current source amp tend to pair much better with (very) high efficiency single driver speakers, based on my albeit limited experience.
Current, Amperage
I’m trying to make sense of the argument about various types of speakers [ sensitivity, brand, etc ] and their relationship with power/ current/ amperage.
Can someone please provide some basic perspective.
I have a 91.5db tall floor speaker [ Focal Chorus 826V ] and what should I look for in an amp to drive these? How much power do I really need with all things being equal? I use a VTL tube 2.5 amp if that matters to the discussion.
Thank you.
