Need more headroom


I'm listening to a 5ox/ch amp driving Vandersteens in a small room.I've been happy but lately there has been writings on the forum about having enough power and it got me thinking. Christmas is coming a I figure if I got a pair of Wyred fr Sound SX-1000 monoblocks and a pair of used LaScalas I should be set, right? I realize I won't be able to get runway sound pressure levels, maybe just 130 db or until the speakers catch fire, what are your thoughts?

High power and sensitive speakers can allow music to flow with a lack of compression that is seductive. Even at reasonable volumes. You wont' go back!

My room: 11' x 17' x 8'
Speakers: 98dB sensitivity
Power amplifier: 775 wpc
