Hi there,Oh don't get me wrong... I run a pair of 85dB/watt monitors with an 8 watt SET amp! And I still get over 15dB of dynamic headroom for music before the amp soft clips. So I know how easy it is for most amplifiers to drive most speakers, because most of us don't listen very loud :-) I was curious though, as to why amplifiers in general seemed to struggle more with the bass than other frequencies higher up.
Sincerely,
Mal
