Your Magnepans will be happy with the 500 watts you show at 4 ohms as that is what they are rated for. I have an older pair of completely re-done SMGA`s with different crosover circuits. They are powered by 300 watts per channel and I just went to a friends home who got his set of 3.6`s and they are powered by a McIntosh 352 at 350 watts and they sing!! Don`t see any reason to push them any harder than 500 watts.
Is it good to drive the magnepan 3.6?
I have 2 classe Twenty-Five power amp, and I just purchased a pair of Magnepan Speakers: model 3.6 and its rate is 4 Ohms speaker. I was wondering, if I "bridged" my power amp to function as "monoblocks" to drive a pair of magnepan 3.6. Will it cause the amplifier to "see" a 2-ohm load? Does that stress the amplifier's current capacity and will the amp be overheated?
Here is the power amp's rated output:
Rated Output :
8 Ohms Stereo: 250 Watts
4 Ohms Stereo: 500 Watts
8 Ohms Mono: 1000 Watts
4 Ohms Mono: 1600 watts
I don't have that much of experience on this audio system, so can any one give me some advice , please e-mail me.
Thank You
