Dear All,
I previously asked this as part of an other question but got no answer. I am awaiting delivery on a pair of B&W 804S and will be buying a suitable amplifier in the near future. I currently have a Cambridge Audio 540a knocking about which has 50wpc. Can I use this amplifier to drive the speakers (lightly of course) or will this damage my speakers? Whilst I understand the speakers are a completely different class and ideally I should be looking at something way more powerful to drive them, I am just interested in any potential damage I could cause by using a 50wpc amp. Sorry im a bit of noob on this topic.
Massive thanks to all in advance.
