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.

Put another way, the more efficient your speaker, the less power is required to drive them. According to the documentation on Focal’s website, recommended amplifier power for your speakers is: 40-250 watts

Isn’t the VTL 2.5 a preamp? What kind of power amp do you have?
