I've had a nice pair of Akai SW 155's for some time now, but unfortunately the vintage sansui amp I was running them passed away recently. My problem is that I'm not entirely sure on the best power rating to look for when shopping for the replacement amp. Going on what I've read (best is here: http://www.prestonelectronics.com/audio/Speakers.htm) anything >12.5 watts per channel is best for these speakers (8 ohm, 50W MUSIC power rating, effectively 25watt rms).
Does this seem right? Will I loose too much low end with such a low amplifier power rating?
I'm playing mostly playing fairly bass heavy electronic music on these and got some really good low end out of them when I borrowed a more powerful amp for a week ... but with some distortion I think.
The best available options so far seems to be a Pioneer E-1000 A/H - 10W per channel .
Any comments would be much appreciated!
