I am considering one of these, but would be using it to run a pair of 4-ohm KEF three-2's. Anyone have an opinion as to whether this would be too much power for these speakers? I don't play music at concert levels, but my system is in a very large room.
There is no such thing as too much power . It is a known fact that dynamic transients in music can exceed 10 x The rated power in milliseconds. This s why by having the extra power the extra headroom is a Big plus. The amplifier is coasting and not having to go into distortions. I run Maggi 3.6, as well as big Revel speakers with the 550 with no problems whatsoever. in a 16x22ft room .the volume on this is a very high precision ladder type That goes up to 150 for a lot of flexibility.
Hello audioman..may i ask a couple of questions??? I wouldnt be able to have a dedicated line with that kind of power (here a 4 kw contract would simply cost to much) do you still think its good buy compared to a mac 6600 or 7000 (basically the same sound)???
I would be able to pay te krell half the price of the mcintosh amps.
Also do you think it could be a good match for my thiel cs 1.6?
I am looking to upgrade from my electrocompaniet eci 3 integrated and i would love to keep the lovely mid range but also have more extended and crisp highs and a more controlled bass.
