I posted this in the electronics area before I saw this forum. Sorry.
I would like to put a pair of 5jr's on one of those classic power receivers from the 70's.....Marantz, Sansui, Luxman, Kenwood etc.. I understand the power ratings from that era was very conservative and usually high current, as opposed to the '100 watt' ratings publised nowdays by the lower end units from mass producers.
I'm just curious if these type of units will push the 5's easily. I haven't heard the 5's (they are being donated by a friend) but being they read like a relatively light load - 8ohm, 90db efficient - I would think that 15 to 60 watts of old school power should be allright. Any thoughts?
