Are you really sure you need 300W/per channel even? That is a TON of power.




There are times when one may actually need that sort of power. I run Magnepan speakers which are planer speakers which are rated at 4ohms and at 86db sensitivity. I power them with a Bryston 4B amp which is 250w at 8 ohms and 500w at 4ohms. Last night I was listening to the Dallas Wind Symphony Orchestra at loud level...not screaming levels in a 16x11 room(not big at all) and the Bryston red clipping light went on about 3 times during certain passages. Right now I could use one of those 300w per channel or more.
