Is 50 wpc SS NAD enough to power Spendor SP1?


Need a new integrated for my Spendor SP1.
Like NAD but wonder if 50 WPC solid state is enough to properly drive them.

The Germans have a great word for that.......jain. Yes and no. Drive yes, will you fall in love with the sound, no. These speakers really like very heavy stable current. You throw something really solid behind them and they wake up and show you the micro dynamics and imaging. Otherwise, un-involving comparatively.

Find some really good power and be happier.


Celtic66 nailed it.

To do your Spendors justice, look to a better integrated amp.

For example the last two audio expos I attended had Spendor speakers driven by EXPOSURE electronics and VDH cables .

The EXPOSURE integrated amp will smoke the NAD. I've personally owned the C370 in a prior "B" sytem and know its signature sound, warts and all.

+ 1 to the Celtic66 prompt to look elsewhere.
I owned SP!'s for a long time. You really need a minimum of 100 watts/ch of high quality amp to do them justice.
