Not Enough Power???


HELLO AUDIOGONERS,
AM I DEFEATING THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF MY MARTIN-LOGAN AERIUS i SPEAKERS, USING A OLDER KRELL KSA-80 POWER AMP??? NOT ENOUGH POWER FOR THE LOGANS. WOULD I DO MUCH BETTER WITH A KRELL FPB 200 0R 300. WHAT DO YOU THINK. ALSO DO YOU RECOMMEND A 220 LINE ON POWER AMPS? OR IS 110 OK??
REGARDS

should be enough power used a Rowland 1 with quest speakers with good success and volume also.
I ran these at a dealer with my VTL Tiny Triodes and they were astonishing... and loud enough. Personally, I believe SS is all wrong for this speaker. I've heard them run with larger tube amps and they always sounded superior compared with SS.
Don't shout.... take off the caps lock.

I think you would be very pleased with the extra power a FPB-300 would offer. I moved to that from a KSA-150 and loved the extra power. 110 is fine.
Maybe, if you play it loud. You may be able to find another KSA-80 and have them converted to mono and have KMA-160s.
