In Reply to: 50w powering gunned 1.6s, am I crazy? posted by Enchantment1.6s on May 14, 2016 at 16:53:06:
Enjoying the result is key. :-))
However, while the Sprout may be a beautiful-sounding amplifier, I suggest its 50w may not be allowing your Gunned 1.6s to deliver the best sound they are capable of.
How much power you need depends on what style of music you listen to - 'simple' music like Diana Krall (or many other chanteuses) ... or more complex music like opera, harpsichord or, for example, 'Dead Can Dance' or Jean-Michel Jarre (which have multiple 'layers' of music).
If the latter then an amp which sounded identical to your Sprout but was able to put out 300wpc, say, would enable your 1.6s to deliver more (leading edge of transients, in particular).
Regards,
Andy
