Hello All - first timer here

i recently purchased a pair of lsi9's to replace some huge front speakers (klipsch Cornwall's)

I am thinking of replacing my center speaker with the LSIc for timbre matching but i am concerned that i wont have enough juice to power it.

I have a outlaw audio mono- block that is not being used right now.......

do you think this would do the trick? it says 300w @ 4 ohms

My current set up: Mcintosh MX119 & Mc352 - lsi9' mains - Rotel RMB-1095 currently powering my Definitive technology LCR 2500 center and surrounds

    Sure, it would be fine. Have always checked out these amps, am curious how the sound quality is. Have switched to mono blocks for my fronts and like the results, those outlaws would be a somewhat affordable solution if a person wanted to go all mono's.

    That would be a great choice but the Rotel is 4ohm stable so why not just use it?
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    I concur w/ Doro....nt seeing an amp you have written that will have trouble driving the LSiC

    Incidentally I have 2 outlaw monoblocks biamped to my LSiC and it is overkill....one would easily get the job done.
