I have a Dynaudio contour 2.8, I listen to music in very low volume. If I use 30 watt tube amp to drive it. Will speaker be damaged by the low wattage? Thanks.

How much power does he need to listen at "very low volume levels"? According to Dynaudio, his Contour 2.8's put out 87 dB with 1 watt of input. I'm assuming that he won't even be using 1 watt, since I do not consider 87 dB to be very low listening levels. So if he is not even using 1 watt, then 30 watts should be plenty.
Alright, we have had a myriad of responses, all with different, and confusing results. So let's go back to the original question and take a vote:

"Will a 30 wpc tube amp damage Dynaudio Contour 2.8 speakers when listening at very low volume levels?"

I vote for no, using a 30 wpc tube amp at very low listening levels will not damage these Dynaudio speakers.

Remember, the question is not what amp you think will work optimally with these speakers, but will a low power tube amp damage these speakers at low listening levels.
