Your speakers are not highly sensitive so going with higher power isn’t a problem, and the less hard an amp needs to work the better. In your case with your speakers and in your room I’d think anything 75Wpc+ should be fine, and I’d focus more on what type of sound characteristics you’re looking for and let that be your primary guide. The only caveat would be if your speaker’s impedance drops below 4 Ohms, then you want an amp with a more robust power supply to comfortably handle the dip(s). In this case and as a very general guideline, the amp should be able to put out at least 50% more power into 4 Ohms versus 8 Ohms. Hope this helps, and best of luck
Is more amp power always better...?
Hello.
Asking advice on what power Amp/int amp I should buy for my room size...
I have a small listening room. 11' x 10'. I have 89db speaker sensitivity I am going to buy a solid state amp.
For best audio quality (ignoring all other factors), my question is:
Do folks advise "Buy as much watts per channel as you can afford"? -OR- "Buy enough watts for the room" as more watts in reserve do not mean better quality audio?
Put another way: are more watts in reserve better for audio quality, even if amp does not use this power?
Thank you...hope this was clear.
