RM 200 MK II HC 40 watt amp and speaker match
« on: 9 Feb 2011, 07:49 pm »
Hi gang,

  A question to those who might know from experience.  Anybody have experience with Dunlavy SC-IV Improved speakers and the RM 200 MK II HC amp?  I do not want to bother Roger with questions about a used amp for sale so I thought I would ask here.  I have always been very happy with 100 watts of SS power into the IVs but have wanted to get back into the tube game as well.  I lived with 4 tube amps ( on other speakers ) from CJ and VTL and just got over the KTK fuses at $20.00 per and  8 EL-34s and  16 6550Cs at $40.00 per.  I have never run the Dunlavy's with tubes but the RM 200 looks like a great fit.  The HC version rolls out 40 watts per but has lots more current.  As the SC-IV Improved is supposed to be a fairly even load at or near 4 ohms, will the higher current be of benefit?  Most of my listening is at or under 88-90 db but i do have the occasional heavy handed night and do not want to crap out on large scale rock or electronica.
    Any thoughts will be appreciated
