Amp and speaker matching.


I wanted to know if anyone out there has driven a harder load speaker (86db to be exact), with a Tube Amp around 70 watts? I was thinking of driving a pair of Dynaudio Contour 3.0's with a pair of Prima Luna 7 monoblocks 70watts. Currently I use a Solid State amp 350Watts. The Dyns love power so im afraid to drop down in power.

HI Grannyring,
It`s hard to know sometimes,I suspect it depends on the particular tube amplifier. Two amps with the same power rating can in reality be night and day different(transformer,power supply robustness etc.). Jerroot and Ard`s experiences suggest they got great results rather than merely adequate compromise.
