If you have them High passed with a Sub, then it should be fine. Contrary to popular believe, I think high powered amps 200W+, will push small drivers to hard. I don't like using over 100 W amps with monitors, but that is just me. As long as you don't crank the volumn to high. But again, if they are high passed, there is no problem.
Rotel RB-1080/Totem Model 1 Signatures?
Does anyone think this amp is too much for the M1 Signature?
The Rotel is rated at 200W@8ohms, and the M1S are rated for 120 and are 4 ohms, and I am using a Cambridge A500 as a preamp. I also have an Energy Encore sub to fill in the bottom end, to take a bit of the low end stress off the mains.
Are these known to be a fragile monitor? Has anyone had issues? Are there any precautions I could take to protect the speakers?
thanks.
