Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers
Hello.
I have some polk LSIM707s that I thorough enjoy.
However, at the moment I'm powering them using a Yamaha aventage 3070 receiver which at 150 watts at 8ohms sounds pretty darn good.
However, since these are rated at 300 watts at 8 Ohms, I assume I will need some more power. I notice at lower volumes a lot of the imaging and clarity disappears.
I am looking at buying a 300 watt emotiva Amplifier, or a 500 watt emotiva amplifier.
I'm assuming it would be better to purchase the 500 watt per channel emotiva so the speakers won't suck it dry or stress it.
Am i wrong in this assumption?
