Spendor D7.2 Pairing - First Watt F8


I have a First Watt F8 with a Modwright LS100 as a preamp.  Considering the Spendor D7.2's to replace my Zu DW 6 Supremes.  The Spendor's are rated at 8 ohms and 90db efficiency - their specs show amps from 25 -200 can handle them.  The F8 puts out 25 Wats per channel into a typical 8 ohm load and loves efficient speakers.  Anyone here running this combination or have thoughts on the Spendors paired with a Class A like the F8?

How loud do you listen in how large a room? (I'd recommend you use a meter or phone app to determine your listening level as one person's "moderate" volume may be another's "loud" or "soft".)

If you are a 90 dB or 100 dB volume listener or using them in a large room you'll probably run out of power.

Example, I have a pair of 88 dB sensitive Ohms that I power with a 20 watt/ch Aegir in a 15' X 24' room. My average loudest volume is 85 dB (C weighted) and have no problem with peaks. However, I do use an active crossover that cuts low bass to the Ohms and have a separate subwoofer. This takes a lot of the power load off the Aegir.

Boy that's going to be a big change in the speaker sound going from Zu to Spendor. I hope you've listened to those before you've bought or are buying
