If you bi-amp the speaker (you really should), the panel prefers a voltage source, so any of the good modestly-powered (75-100w) tube amps will be fine. The woofer... | |
| Ayone know the wattage used at a Rock concert? I saw The Who and AC/DC, but my loudest show was The Ramones in L.A. in the 90's. I can't remember the venue, but the room was all cement, the sound bouncing off the walls from every direction forever. I got SUCH a headache. | |
