You don't know until you hear an amp in your system. For example last week we hooked up a VAC Ren 30/30 class A amp 300B stereo tube amp to Sonus Faber stratovari speakers and it drove them no problem. Some of the best sound we hear on those speakers. Even controlled the bass better that 200 wpc mono blocks we had and many other amplifiers we have. So you never know if you are just looking at specs. Not the first time this has happened.. last time it was with our Vandersteen model 7 speakers. Happy Listening
Need help matching speakers with amplifer
I have a pair of Boston Acoustic Vr-20 floorstanding speakers. Im not sure what the RMS continous power rating of these speakers are in order to make the best match with an amplifier. In Hi-Fi Engine the spec’s just say recommended Amplifier 15-200 watts at 8ohms. is this saying the continous is 15 and the peak is 200. I would think the continous would have to be more than 15 watts being these are larger floor standing speakers. Thanks for help from the community!!
