Thoughts on a Marantz MM9000 amp for a 4 Ohm ...


speaker. I have the MM9000 which is rated at 150wpc into 8 Ohms. The spec sheet doesn't mention powering speakers with lower nominal impedence. I'm purchasing some Dynaudio 1.8s (4 Ohm) and I'm not in the mood to upgrade my amp just yet. Will this amp put my new Dyns at risk?

Thanks!

Dynaudio's require gobs of power to perform at their best. While your amp may be able to drive them to very reasonable listening levels, your speakers will not be doing what they are capable of providing until you can provide them with both a higher quality and quantity of signal. In the meantime, use the Marantz and see how you like it. It may work out just fine for you. What each of us expects out of a system can be very different things. Sean
