Audio Systems: Power Amp, stereo amplifier, reliability record


Question
I currently have two passive HK Audio Pr:o 10x speakers. 600watts at 8ohms. What size of power amplifier would I require for these? I would like them to be stereo, so a 2 channel Power amp. Thanks!

Answer
Actually, they are 300w power handling and 8 ohms impedance.  Sensitivity is 99db which is only average.  Therefore, you will want a stereo amplifier that feeds full power into 8 ohms and since the sensitivity is medium you will want an amplifier that can reach as close to the 300 watts/channel.  There are hosts of amplifiers that will do the job.  You will need to settle your search around those that meet the power requirements, reliability record and your budget.

All the best, cheers.
