Hi,
Would I get away with running 75 watt speakers with an 80 watt amp, providing I didn't drive them too hard?
Thanks,

The_Lhc said:With an underpowered amp you're more likely to turn the amp up to it's maximum in order to get a reasonable volume, this will lead to the amp clipping and distorting the waveform, which is one of the quickest ways of damaging the speakers.
With an overpowered amp you're more likely to reach your limit of comfort before the amp or speakers do.
