Hello.
I bought some Arcam Muso speakers (rated 4ohms) to use with my Kenwood 3020 amplifier (30W/channel into 8ohms), not realising the amplifier can't power them sufficiently.
A decent 4ohm amp looks expensive so thinking about picking up some other entry level bookshelf speakers, maybe the JBL Control 1s (rated 8ohms, 89db sensitivity, 200 peak / 50 continuous). Does anyone know if my amp could handle these?
If not then I guess it's a new amp or amp/speakers.
Thank you,
Pete
