Hi I have an aging but working Kenwood KA 3020 SE Amp listed at 30w per channel. Due to a change in house, and the room where the hifi will be, I am looking to probably upgrade my speakers to smaller, neater ones (likely Q Acoustics 3020 or similar).
I want to gradually update my system, starting with speakers. Will my existing amp be suitable to run these speakers, which are listed at ''recommended power 25-75watts" ... I know you are meant to 'match' a hi-fi but i have no idea how this is calculated (even after much online study!).
The best way i could word this question is - "what figures should i be looking out for when looking at the power output of ANY bookshelf speakers, in order to 'match' this Amp.? ".
