If I'm correct the power rating on the amp is 225 watts into 8 ohms. The Spendors have a pretty flat impedance curve. I ran a TRL D-225 with my Spendor 1/2e speakers and found they liked the extra power. I have read where others used a lot less power to run the 1/2's, but in my experience less power (50 - 100 watts) did not work out as well. Solid state was also better than tubes in my experience with the 1/2's.
B&K powering Spendor?
Primary question: How would a B&K Ref 200.3 or other B&K amp mate with a pair of Spendor 1/2's and a Spendor C5e center? I have been running this combo with an older Sony 777ES amp. It's time to upgrade and I want to move past the consumer grade stuff. I'll use the Sony as a pre for now but wanted to upgrade the power amp first.
I welcome your thoughts/suggestions. This system is running my video and audio system, including a Clearaudio turntable. I'll address the pre and phono stage later. The rears will run off of the Sony for the time being. I have no space for more speakers (WAF) so condider this a 5.1 system.
Thanks,
Jack
