As long as you have a high current amp you should be fine. I came close to getting the SF auditor m's but then heard the Dynaudio C1's. My C1's are rated at 85db and previously had a Bryston B100SST (180w @4ohms) and it sounded pretty darn good to me but on a lark I demoed an Octave V70SE tube integrated (70w @ 4ohms) and it just crushed the Bryston B100. Naim XS and Supernait are a couple of other very good high current solid state integrated amps that match well with the C1's.
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?
