Hi,
I managed to pick up a pair of Aperiodic 8's recently. They both look and sound fabulous. I'm moving into a new house in a few weeks and these will be doing duty in a basement (second) system in a smallish (10'x12') room with somewhat low ceilings (7-7.5'). Right now I have them powered with an Audio Sector Gainclone amp and the sound is pretty darned good, if a little veiled. When I hooked them up to my RWS Signature 30, I hear precisely what I was missing, however. Much more open and alive, not as rolled off on the high end.
In short: the Gainclone is holding back the speakers a bit. The A8's are certainly not the limiting factor. Anyway, I wanted to know: what is the minimum power required for the A8's in a small-to-medium size room? I am considering a low power SET/tube amp to replace the Gainclone and wanted to know how far down in power I can go? 8W? 4W? Lower?
Thanks in advance, -dB
