Hi. I'm looking for an amplifier for my speakers, and I therefore have a very general question regarding this topic. I'm hoping that you can help me:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's say that 2 floorstanding speakers have a sensitivity of 90.00 dB and a nominal impedance of 6 ohm. They also have a recommended amplifier power of 40 - 150 W (I'm guessing that's PER speaker?)
And then let's say that an amplifier had these specs:
2 x 125 Watt at 6 ohm
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's what I'm not sure about:
Does this mean that the amplifier gives 215 W to each speaker?
Would an amplifier with the mentioned specs be under- or overpowered?
Please make sure to explain why you answer what you answer. I'm new to this, so I need to make sure I understand
