RTi A1 + 25 watts per channel amp

atxaga

I have recently purchased a pair of RTi A1s and hooked them up to an oldish Pioneer receiver (vsx c100) which indicates 25 watts per channel (at 8 ohm). The speakers are great sound wonderful. However, I wonder if the pioneer is underpowered for these speakers and I risk damaging them through clipping. Not that I've heard anything strange nor will I be playing music at very high volume. Is the risk of clipping (and consequent damage) only at pretty high volume?

Thanks for any advice!

You should have no problems if you keep the volume reasonable. The speakers are very easy to drive and don't require tons of power.

Also, if you add more speakers to that receiver, that will also influence at what point you may start clipping. Keeping it at just 2 speakers is more ideal.

Thanks Tony - that's reassuring
