Wavac 805


Hi,

Will this amplifier that claims 55w in class A single ended drive speakers that have 85db/4ohms?

Alternative SET amplifiers to dive such loads?

You also need to look at the impedance curve of the speakers. Most speakers have a dip around the bass region, which means that the amp will have to supply a lot of current. If your amp can't do it, not only will you get less bass - your midrange and top end will clip.

Look for speakers which have a benign impedance load. As flat as possible, and 8 Ohms.
