Too much power?


I'm either going to buy a Aragon 2004 II or 4004 II. I have a pair of Klipsch kg3.5's, they're sensitivity is 94db so they're not hard to drive. Will the 4004 be too much power or is there no such thing? Thanks

Great Match!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
The aragon will soften out the klipsch just enough.
1-your speakers are efficient enough that you won't need the extra power.
2-The extra wattage will only get you a 3db increase (10db to double the sound pressure/perceived volume).
3-Usually the speakers efficiency will drop with impedance and distortion may grow. Many 4 ohm speakers are rated at only 84 to 86db, while your klipsch are rated at over 90db. Therefore, even if you rewired your klipsch for 4 ohms, the efficiency will drop enough that it isn't worth the gain.
IE... your amp may put out 100 watts at 8 ohms, 200 watts at 4 ohms. 100 watts at 92db will be louder than 200 watts at 87 db.
