Last week I purchased 3 M22 in walls and 4 QS8's to use in a media room I'm building. I'm looking at amps now and leaning towards the Emotiva XPA-5 and XPA-3. They are both 200w per channel. Looking at the specs I know that would be fine for the QS8's since they are rated for up to 400w, but what about the M22's? Would those amps be overkill with the M22 only rated for 200w or should it be fine?
Before it's mentioned, I realize those two amps have a total of 8 channels and I only listed 7 speakers. My garage/workshop is right next to the new media room so I can use the extra channel to power a single speaker in my workshop.
They can handle the xpa3.. I tried them on the XPA5, UPA2 and my Yaqin MC10T tube amp. I even tried them on a Behringer EP2500. You can drive them really hard.
