Hi everyone!
I've got a pair of Technics speakers that are each 250W and 8Ω each. I inherited a Sony Stereo Receiver that after doing some digging, is only rated for 150W at 8Ω's. So now I know that these speakers have been underpowered for awhile.
My hope is sometime soon I can get an amp that is rated for around 350-400W and cheap since this is probably coming out of my pocket (read: teacher.)
My question is, why when I turn up the receiver to not even 1/2 on a line level input does it sound super loud already when these speakers are being underpowered?
Thanks!
