Hello from a beginner!
I have a pair of 6 years old Eltax Liberty 5+ and I would like to connect them to a Yamaha A-S500. The specs of the 2 devices are the following:
Yamaha A-S500:
Minimum RMS Output Power
(8 ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.019% THD): 85 W + 85 W
(6 ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.038% THD): 100 W + 100 W
Maximum Power (4 ohms, 1kHz, 0.7% THD): 120 W + 120 W
High Dynamic Power/Channel (IHF) (8/6/4/2 ohms): 130/150/185/220 W
Total Harmonic Distortion (CD to Sp Out, 20 Hz-20 kHz): 0.015% (42.5 W/8 ohms)
Eltax Libert 5+:
Long term max power: 100 W
Short term max power: 150 W
Impedance: 4 - 8 ohm
Sensitivity (2,83 v/1m) : 87 dB
Frequency range +/- 4dB : 40 - 22 000 Hz
Loudspeakers
Tweeter: 25 mm soft dome
Woofer: 165 mm
My question is whether there is any risk in this matching from a technical specs point of view. What particularly makes me having doubts is the IHF dynamic power of the amp (185W for 4 ohm) comparing to the short term max power of the loudspeaker (150W). In which circumstances can this be dangerous for my system? For info, I listen mostly jazz music (often “noisy” free improvisation) in a +/-30m² room.
Thank you in advance for your help.
