wnabphil78@gmail Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Hey all, I have a Luxman R115 pushing Cornwall’s from 1977, would I benefit adding a 125 watt power amp to this setup? Would I get better sound with clean higher power? I know the corns are super efficient, any help appreciated thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glens Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Yeah, a tube amp, which only makes a few watts. A very solid 70 watts/channel like you've got would usually be well sufficient. Unless you're entertaining fair-sized groups a lot in a large room... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glens Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Tom, on second thought you'd better upgrade. I'll see if I can find someone to take that piece of equipment off your hands. Probably won't have to charge you too high a disposal fee. ;^) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Sure, if you want to leave a lot of headroom for those speakers. A good 60 watts will make them rock! Give the amp some headroom. A great 100 wpc, safely pushing 60 watts, will max-out those speakers without blowing them. 🤘 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee, will handle 2 ohm loads... maybe I could use that. Rewiring my 2A3s will be a job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
