Thanks for the reassurances--now I'm going to go crank 'em up.
Too much power for Spendor S3/5?
I just bought a new pair of Spendor S3/5 (replaced Vandersteen 2CE Signature II) for a move to a smaller space. All my other gear has remained the same, including an NAD C372 integrated that puts out 150 watts. Spendor's guidelines for the S3/5 suggest a max of about 75 watts and I'm wondering if I'll run a risk of blowing or overheating drivers by putting too much power into them. I might consider a change to the Naim Nait 5i-2, or...
I listen at low volumes (under 75 dB) and in the near-field (5-6 feet away), though I do occasionally turn them up to the 80-85 dB range when I'm in another room. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
