Define power hungry...B&W speakers

"How much minimum power is necessary, damping factor, etc. What specs are important to me?"

No 2 companies measure their amps exactly the same way. You can have 2 amps rated at 100 watts/ch into 8 ohms and there can be a huge difference between how much power they put out in the real world. You need to take each amp on a case by case basis.

Room 10 X 13, carpet with lots of furniture and high ceilings. Music all type's, acoustic, classical, vocals, etc. No high volume levels.

In the archives I cannot seem to find the answers I'm seeking.

There has to be a place to start that is written, not subjective...

I hear the phrase "high current", how is that defined?

Thanks everyone!

"I hear the phrase "high current", how is that defined?"

It depends on who you ask.

More power is always better, it provides headroom and plays out with more weight and solidity, better definition throughout the range. For anyone with real world listening volumes like me. I listen to my system between 35-350 watts, because I like to feel the music too. B&W's are traditionally easy to drive 8 ohm speakers and watts are cheap! Unlike my Dynaudios that suck power up like a cat drinking milk.

wow! that's a new one on me. B&Ws are easy to drive 8 ohms speakers? Really? I did not know this - from my experience & every time I've heard them they've been nothing short of a difficult load for the amp.
I might be missing something here.......
