Audio Space LS-3/5a Bookshelf with SW-1a Subs

Should be fine. The speakers are quite inefficient so throwing more power at them is a little like pissing up a rope.

Geoffkait:

I read the op's post because I'm interested in the LS-3/5a's and you write:

"Should be fine. The speakers are quite inefficient so throwing more power at them is a little like pissing up a rope."

How is adding more powerful amplification to an "inefficient" speaker tantamount to pissing up a rope? What have I missed here?

I can't see any problem since the room is not large and you're not into head banging type of music!
