25 watts of Class A power for the LS3/5A's will be fine! I have a pair of Rogers. They are not meant for playing metal at 100 db! More power will only risk damaging the KEF B110 woofers.
What about the other way around?
Hey everyone,
I understand that an SS amp in general will double (or some percentage of doubling) in output when going from 8 to 4 ohms.
What about the other way around?
Assuming the reverse is true that wattage output will be halved as resistance doubles, would a pair of 15 ohm Rogers LS3/5As (82.5dB/W/M) be too much of a load for a 50 wpc Forte 1A?
With ~25 wpc, should I be concerned about clipping?
This is for a possible bedroom (12' x 16') setup. Semi near field (about 6' or 7' away) classical, jazz and some light rock listening at low to moderate volumes.
Thanks!
