Does my amp have enough juice to power my speakers?

As much power as you can afford. The more the better, typical crescendos require 500W for full effect. I have been there, there is absolutely no replacement for power.

These amps  are outstanding in every way, I have found nary a weakness in 2-3 years now.  But with those speakers, you should look into the Sanders Magtech, and never look back.www.sanderssoundsystems.com. MAGTECH, you will never run out of juice,...

How good's your hearing
My hearing is top!worn earplugs at my profession for 18+ years.  Critical listening is pretty spot on.i chose my speakers from sound quality. They are a VERY warm speaker (highs rolled off at 600)  when it comes to speakers. I’m good!
