Speaker power handling

Weseixas, The speakers power handling capability will be exceeded with 300 watts. Honestly, I do not believe speakers with a midrange size woofer are intended for this kind of abuse.

It is true tweeters can easily be damaged with too little power, but woofers can be damaged with too much.

Yagimax, Do yourself a favor and contact Dynaudio. I believe using an amplifier with 800 watts into 4 ohms is risky business with your little speakers.

Its obvious I got mixed up in a solid state crowd.

The Classe has been sitting idle since the sale of the Magnepans thus the temptation to try it.

My last audition was a single driver speaker with an 18w set amp. The midrange was fantastic but lacked dynamics.

I'm hoping to try something different this weekend after another visit to the dealer.

Rrog,

Not a SS crowd, it's more a sounding like live music crowd. -)

Not because an amp has 800 watts mean he will be using it all, nor will yagimax be using 300 watts rms, most likely 300 watts music peak and only if he decides to go crazy with the volume, if not i don't expect any issues...

Guarantee it will be the best he has ever heard those dynaudio's..

Regards,

Weseixas, It takes a lot more than a 5.5" woofer to sound like live music no matter how much power you have.

Did you think the Dynaudio speakers were rated at 200 watts continuous? I would guess their 200 watt rating is a peak musical signal rating.

Its nice of you to give Yagimax a guarantee of best sound, but if his Classe amp sounds so great, why is he using his PSE amplifier?
