Aloha,
Here are the specs on my YBA amp:
50Wpc into 8 ohms (17dBW), 90Wpc into 4 ohms (16.5dBW). Frequency response: 10Hz–40kHz, ±3dB. Total Harmonic Distortion: 20Hz–20kHz, ±0.02%. S/N ratio: !w95dB (A-weighted). Power consumption: 260W (full power).
I'm curious to in home demo both the Monitor Audio Bronze 6, and Silver 6. The issue is that the minimum recommended amp power for both speakers is 60w, and my amp is only 50w - albeit a generous 50w.
I realize pushing the power envelope would be very equipment specific. Having never done it, I'd like some general feedback on the prospect.
My current alternative is the PSB X2T's which only require 20w. But they cost twice as much as the Monitor Audio Bronze 6, are huge in comparison. I've ruled out the PSB X1T's due to mediocre reviews.
All feedback is welcomed!
