Too much power shouldn't be a problem, That is what volume controls are for.
The old saying is very true. You will far more easily destroy a speaker with too little power than one with too much.
Devore O/96 with high powered amplifiers
Just picked up a used pair of Devore O/96 and am awaiting delivery. Still have a pair of McIntosh MC501s (500W) and a pair of Quicksilver V4s (170W) that I used with my previous speakers.
Before I sell the amplifiers for something with less power, I plan to at least try them with the O/96s.
What can I expect to hear? What issues might I encounter?
