In Reply to: Help please !!!!Audio Note Kit 1 Amp used with 88db Sensitive speakers posted by windy2004 on December 7, 2005 at 22:43:08:
I used my Kit1 with Martin Logan sl3s and it worked well enough that I could have stopped, satisfied. The MLs are roughly similar sensitivity but are more difficult load electrically. Since they sounded so good, I bet your SF will sound great, too. Your sonus Fabers are much more benign load (from memory) and so present less stress to the amp. You'll want to use the 4 Ohm taps. The key to the Kit1 working with lower sensitivity speakers is the output transformers which are up to the job of most 88dB speakers.What you will find is that they will play at low to moderate volumes very well but then will clip when playing at a constant louder volume.
So the real question is: how do you listen? Type of music, size of room, and more obviously--how loud?
