Question about speaker power handling


Hi,

The speakers that I currently have (JMLab Chorus 706) have a maximum power rating of 80 watts.

The amp that I am thinking of upgrading to (Rotel RB 1070) has a power rating of 130 wpc at 8 ohm.

Is there a chance that I will damage my speakers by this mismatch? If this is the case, should I be looking for a more conservative amp?

I have read that underpowering is much more harmful to the speaker than overpowering.

Thanks,
Anuj

You'll be fine with the 130 wt amp. You can't really over power a speaker but be careful you can over drive it.
