The Tannoy monitor DMT 215 needs 150 wpc to 500 wpc to drive it. I only have a Music Reference RM9 which is only 100 wpc. Will it ok to drive this monitor without causing amplifier clipping? Please advice! Thanks
Roger Modjeski sez that even if yr spkrs are wired for 8 ohms you should try the 4 ohm tap on the RM9, that it yields sonic benefits. I did and it does!
Roger's amps are designed take advantage of light loading. Using the 4 ohm tap on an 8 ohm speaker will decrease power output (20%) or so, but lower distortion and provide additional benefits. I believe in addition to a 4 ohm tap the RM-9 has a 2 ohm tap. So try them all.
I am still at work. It is only 3PM here in Hawaii. Will do it tonight. @Clio09 - The RM 9 has 4 6 and 8 omhs so I will try all of the taps later. Thanks.
