Looking at SS Amp for Change of Pace

[Poultrygeist]

More juice? The Dyns are 87db bass reflex so 60 real world watts per side into 4ohms should work except in a concert hall. My sealed Aerials were 84db but played loud as hell on 30 wpc.

You can easily reach 100db SPLs ( pain threshould ) with 3.5 watts and 93db horns.

I have 60 watts now, so I wanted to give the Dyns 150 to 300 and see how they sounded. It's not that I'm looking for more volume, I don't get near the half way point on the dial now.

I know what you mean it is nice to have the dynamic headroom and I really like how that power and damping factor controls the woofers. The RS6's along with the Krell can play very loud when I am in the mood to rock.

It is not just the watts, it's the current.

And yes, you are on the right track looking for more to drive the Audience speakers. They will sound so much better with more power.

Yes, 60 will drive them. Yes they will play loud. But they will be completely different animals with a killer amp.

I had a big difference when I switched from my old Hafler to the Stratos. Night and day difference.
