My personal experience: I've driven a pair of Dynaudio Heritage Specials and a pair of Sonus Faber Maxima Auditors with a Sugden A21SE with the volume at 9 o'clock with no issues at all; that said, there is also a REM subwoofer in the system. The space is 13x20x10. I'm not interested in head-banging volumes, but I believe there is plenty of room to do so. I've also had comparable results using a PrimaLuna evo 400 and Rogue Cronus Magnum. I'm going to climb out on a limb and say that wattage, like horsepower, is conditionally relevant. From there I'll leave it to the engineers to thrash out. Best wishes.
What speakers work with low wattage class A amps
Hi everyone. I am setting up a system and have been really impressed by some low volume listening I was able to do through a class A amp. Class A amps usually have lower watts in a given price range, and are not as practical for big power. What speakers have sensitivity that would make sense for an amp with 25 Watts or less (eg some of the entry level class A options from Pass Labs)? Are we limited to horn speakers? The speakers I have are said to require “high current amps”. Is this a factor as well? Thanks for your help.
