Yes you can go higher. In fact if it’s a high current amp, it will be more beneficial. I run my Pass 250 with many bookshelf rated less than 250w rating. No issue what so ever.
Too powerful of an amp!?
Hello Audiogon fellows - I have a pair of 805 D4's and the recommended amps for this speaker are required to be rated between 50W-120W (as per spec sheet). I was eyeing some McIntosh amps as upgrade to my existing amp, and the only one that falls under this range is a MA5300 or MA252, they are the only ones that are rated 100W per channel for 8 ohm speakers (and I don't fancy/want those amps).
Can I safely go above recommended threshold for my B&W's? up to 3---400W per channel?
