Is This Amp OK for This Speaker?


I have a Dynaudio Contour T2.1 Center Channel speaker, impedance listed at 6 ohms. Also have a Marantz SM-80 (bridged/mono) that I want to use to drive the Contour T2.1.

Specs for the SM-80:

Rated power output (20 Hz-20 kHz)
8 ohms RMS...100 Wx2
4 ohms RMS...150 Wx2
8 ohms mono...300 Wx1

Back of the amp, at the speaker terminals, reads 2CH minimum 4 ohms, Mono (bridged) 8 ohms.

Any issues with the SM-80 driving the Contour T2.1?

Actually, the center channel is the most important speaker in a HT... in a normal movie, about 70% of all sound involves the center channel.

Will it work? Yes. But I would try to find an amp that matches your L/R for the center (mind you, not say the same amp, but one that sounds about the same... and of same quality)
