amplifier power

[admin_exported]

I am interested in the Roksan Kandy amp as it has got good reviews from alot of places, but its 120 watt power rating is quite high, and although I have heard that a high power gives better control of speakers etc, I was hoping to pair it with the B&W 685s which have a 100 watt power handling.

Is it definitely dangerous for the speakers to pair these together?

No problem at all. I've just browsed to the first link I could find on the subject and you may or may not be esp interested in it, but read the very last paragraph...

musical fidelity advocate using powerful amps as most speakers now are insensitive compared with days of yore.

No...unless you plan to host "Party in the Park" this year with them!

Yes, it's not like the early days of kind, caring loudspeakers...

But at least you don't have to worry about finding hypoallergenic furniture polish anymore.
