Gena: I'm not really interested in doing any experiments. I think that you did an excellent job.

My point was that you could take a lot of liberty with my numbers and still come up with peak power requirements of more than 100 Watts.

One other thing to consider is that solid state amplifiers are not very forgiving to peaks (spikes) that exceed their maximum ratings. They can be destroyed very easily by fast spikes containig very little energy.

In the course of all of this discussion, I think that I have convinced myself that if I get a seperate amplifier, I want at least a 3 channel unit (RCL).

This is a most interesting thread.

By the way, what color is your 703? I bought silver.
