Can my Amp Drive this Speaker Efficiently (Rega & PMC) I need a little technical advice!!

Posted by Jazzyguy on April 25, 2007 at 17:41:44

Hey guys, I have a Pair of PMC FB1 with 90db sensitivity and a nominal rating of 8 ohms. The Rega Maia Power Amp is rated at 75 watts rms per channel into 8 ohms. I'm trying to figure out if the amp has enough juice for these floorstanders.

Now, Rega's speaker (the R3) which Rega says is a good match for their Maia Amplifier has a sensitivity of 89db into only 6 ohms. Is it safe to say that because the numbers show that the PMC's are slightly more efficient than the Rega R3's that the amp will definately have enough juices for the PMC's?

Also keep in mind that the PMC's cabinet is quite a bit larger and the LF driver is 1.5 inches bigger on the PMC. I dont know if this makes the speakers more or les effiient also.

Thanks guys for the help.
