| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? Sorry about the standard answer... it depends. A very high quality high current design, 50wpc definitely could be fine. Tubes, easily. 30 wpc... tubes probably, maybe solid state... Pass XA30.8 would work. I have had three sets of Sonus Faber. The... | |
