Will Parasound A21 damage my NHT Speakers?


My NHT 2.3 speakers have sensitivity of 86db with 4ohm and 200w max. parasound has 400w into 4ohm. I do not listen to music that loud maybe volume at 11 o'clock. Will the amp damage my speakers and how loud will it need to go before any damage is done? Thanks.

Very doubtful that this amp will damage your speakers.

Most speaker damage comes from driving an under-powered amplifier too hard, and driving into it's 'clipping' stage, where power spikes can take out tweeters and other drivers. Very few speakers are damaged by too much 'clean' power.

In other words, your would have a LOT better chance of damaging your speakers by driving them with a 50 wpc amp.
