Very very easy answer to your question steakster a GOOD amplifier is all you need have been with Acoustat's for more than 25 years five different models i now live in a condo my living room is 14 x 20 i am presently using a Bow Wazoo XL 75 watts per channel integrated amplifier on Acoustat's 1+1s 82db speakers with no problems what so ever would i like more power the answer is yes do i need it the answer is no BUT you are always better with more power than not enough but i am talking about real watts i owned Classe DR3-VHC 45 watts per channel pure clas A power amp for 12 years with different Acoustat's and was very very happy but it's a big one 102 pounds and it eats up a room.
What kind of power wakes up electrostatic speakers
Is it wpc, high current, both or what? I've been aud-itioning amps with the Final Electrostatic 0.3's (86 db sensitivity). The manufacturer suggests a minimum of 50 wpc to get them going. So far, I've tried a Nakamichi Stasis (150wpc) and an Electrocompaniet AW250DMB(250 wpc).With both,the speakers sounded dull, yet the Parasound HCA 3500 (250wpc & high current)made them sing sweet as can be.
Could somebody be kind enought to explain to me how this stuff works. I need to purchase an amp to drive the Final 0.4's (the big brother to the 0.3's). I'd love to know what
to look for.
