Specimen Products Hornling Speakers
Hi,
I've recently purchased a pair of Hornlings from Specimen Products in Chicago.
For those who haven't seen these, here's some info:.

I visited their shop and listened to them on their custom tube amps, in which I plan on moving to in the future and they sound incredible. Currently, though, I am stuck with a B&K AVR 305 that I've been using to power my current system. My use is 70% music, 30% film and it's been great at producing a warm sound w/o a tube amp. It powers my Stax headphones perfectly but I am worried about how it'll handle these new Horn speakers.
Would hooking a simple L/R + sub setup directly to the AVR be too powerful for these and distort the sound? I'm hoping this won't cause any issues at least for the next 6 months until I am ready to full switch over my setup to tube amps.
If anyone has any experience using Specimen horns with powerful solid state amps, that would be great!
Thanks
