Will Audio Research D115 drive Hales?


I have Hales Rev 2's 86 db efficient into 6 ohms- Will AR d115 rated at 100 watts be enough? How about Cary Sli 80 integrated?

I too have a pair of Rev twos. I'm using an SS amp with 75 in to 8, so the juice delivered is somewhere in the 100 watt range. 100 is enough to play loud, but not with the same smoothness as 200 watts. Hales just play with more ease and with larger demention as the rating increases. I can't see an 80 tube integrated amp driving these things, the AR would be more able. A lot depends on your music material, size of room, etc. But in the end, the more the better. Have fun. Hales rule!
