What speakers work with low wattage class A amps
Hi everyone. I am setting up a system and have been really impressed by some low volume listening I was able to do through a class A amp. Class A amps usually have lower watts in a given price range, and are not as practical for big power. What speakers have sensitivity that would make sense for an amp with 25 Watts or less (eg some of the entry level class A options from Pass Labs)? Are we limited to horn speakers? The speakers I have are said to require “high current amps”. Is this a factor as well? Thanks for your help.

i have been looking for my answer to the op’s question for some 40 years, tried soooo many .... haven’t found it yet (last one i tried, recently, the decware open baffle zen with 15 in driver, was an abject disappointment to my ears) that said, i have kept a few gems of low wattage amplifiers (wavelength cardinal xs, cary 300b sei, audio sector patek) as hope springs eternal ... 😄 |
Wolf von Langa SON or Horning Hybrid Zeus are very happy with low powered amplifiers. |
