Since day one I've been using SET amp on my Edgarhorns. A local dealer has a stock ARC D125 for sale and I'm curious on how it would pair up with my Edgarhorns Titan. Is it dangerous? Will I hurt my speakers? I don't listen to loud music at all . I know that this much power is not necessary. Any of you guys have experience with high effeciency+high powered amp? ARC D125 is rated at 110 watts per side and it's a hybrid amp I believe it has 8 6550 output tubes 4 per side.
This what I got from the ARC site.
Features include: Servo for auto balance of plate currents between output tube push & pull pairs; Front panel LED indicators and adjustment controls for left and right channel output tube plate current; Low current LED indicator for each output tube viewable through cover; "Tube Saver" circuit to protect output tubes from abnormal conditions or input overloads (eg. DC); Twin subsonic cooling fans for temperature control and increased life of output tubes.
