Utley1,
Forgive me, but you are sadly mistaken. You are correct, John is easy to deal with. However, there is a world of difference in our technology and Ohm Acoustics.
Further, our speakers are much more efficient than those of old and can be voiced with a few watts. But I would never use less than 100 watts on ANY system under 90 db efficient so as to be sure that there is always enough head room for demanding musical passages or even single notes.
Nothing sounds worse than an underpowered speaker and nothing will damage a speaker faster.
Polarin,
Thank you for the kindness.
