Would it be unwise to use lsi9s with Parasound a21?

    No. They could use more power, but they should sound very nice with that amp.

    How big is your room and what’s ur other equipment?

    400 watts at 4 ohms isn't enough for the Lsi9?? Is there a different a21?

    Thank you so much. At this point, however, I was concerned the amp may be too much for the speakers. My space at the moment is less than ideal. Let's say it is small. I have been acquiring this equipment for quite some time and just recently started putting it together. I have Parasound P5 preamp, A21, lsi9 presently connected (rtia9 still boxed), dsw micropro 4000, Oppo 205 (not yet connected either-no excuse). Oh yeah, I also have Denon 4310.

    It will not be too much.

    You can never have too much headroom.

    Just because the amp can, doesn't mean the amp will...
