Thanks for the warning, but I already own the speakers and like them very much. For the record, the amp drives the speakers very well.
Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor "Minimum" Power?
Would the new Bel Canto C5i work with the *original* Cremona Auditors at 88 dB @ 4 ohms? I have read conflicting reports about these speakers being easy and difficult to drive. The Bel Canto is a very modest 60 WPC into 8 ohms and 120 WPC into 4 ohms, but apparently has a pretty high current output at 30 amps and is stable with 3 ohm loads. Any other reason to believe this combo would not be good?
On a tangent, how does an amp have lower power but high current output? Aren't the 2 directly related? I recall from rudimentary Physics (for mathematically disabled Bio majors like myself) that P=i^2(R). Can somebody conceptually explain to me what's going on with the electrons in high power/low current vs. low power/high current?

Hi Eugene: I have the Auditor M's but cannot comment on the Bel Canto. I drive mine pretty easily with an old Classe' Audio Model Seventy amp (150W into 4Ohms). The speakers dip down to 4 ohms. You can see the curves on the i-fidelity website, page 8 of the review. It's in German but google translate works. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.i-fidelity.net/testberichte/... Mike |
