Unless I am simplifying things, this questiuon bugs me out. I always felt a powerful amp is like a powerful sports car. Maybe the car can do 200 mph, but you don't have to go that fast. I think if you control your volume levels, you should be okay. You will probably go deaf before you fry a 200W speaker
Help please choosing AMP wattage for a newbe
After many years, I am finally in a position to put a nice system together - but not all at once..
Here is my dilemma.
I just purchased a Classe SSP 600 and I now need to purchase the amps. The amps I would like to purchase are Pass Labs X 350. My speakers are rated at 200 watt max. The reason I want the 350 is because next year I will upgrade my speakers and want an amp robust enough to handle future needs. However, I don't want to ruin my current speakers - Martin Logan Clarity and Dahlquist 28s.
Is there a way to make sure I don't damage my speakers before they are upgraded?
I appreciate the feed back.
