FIRST A FEW FACTS, so you can better understand my question. I have been a Lascala Owner for about 2 yrs. I was afforded the high honor of listening to Khorns being driven by Yamaha M80 Vintage amp, ( ~ 260watts) I NOW WANT KHORNS!!!! >>Anyway, I AM WONDERING ABOUT POWER & HOW MUCH IS SAFE VS WHAT MAKES FOR BETTER SOUND. With my back ground in electronics I understand that any device will only pull the amount of power it was designed to pull. I also understand that you can turn up the power to insane amounts ( for that particular ) device and burn/ruin it. I see Khorns are rated to use 100 watts continuos and 400 peak. ( not that one would ever listen at that level for sure) I also think that when the woofer needs power to move that air, it needs a great deal more than more mid and tweeter. 1. Does it work that way? 2. If one were to connect a pair of 600 watt mono blocks ( in search of that holy grail of ultimate sound) , would that give more headroom than a 200W amp? ............ As long as the 600w mono blocks were not turned up to far, would it be safe to use on Khorns? My thinking is during peak passages where the mid and tweeter were needing 5~10 watts ( to reproduce their frequency range) ..... the Tympani hit would need 100 ~ 200 watts for that brief split second to reproduce the music faithfully. SO.... If the 600 mono blocks were not being pushed, the almost limitless headroom the speaker electronics were demanding could result in great fidelity and so on and so forth.
