Newbie question po. If I have an existing Kenwood KRF V6070D and planning to purchase wharfes 9.1 and 9cs will the speakers function properly and be driven by my amp with no problems. ( I still have no funds for amp upgrade since I am just starting hehe)
using my newbie mind it seems everything will be ok since the reciever is 6.1 at 100W per channel and the speakers are 100w also. but reading through this thread it seems the wharfes need a stronger amp to fully drive the said speakers and that worries me.
Lastly, will be replacing the 9.1 eventually with 9.5s and use the existing 9.1 as rears in the near future. With this new set up will the amp stil be sufficient enough to drive all of these.
As always your help are always appreciated sirs. Thanks in advance.
i was trying to look for specs on the net on the said amp but can't seem to find enough information on it.
however, some of the lower onkyo and denon receivers are only rated 75wpc but can drive the 9.1 decently. if it really is 100wpc then it can properly power your wharfes.
imho, speakers with lower sensitivity may always need a more powerful amp to drive them properly and for them to sound good.
i honestly don't think that your existing amp can drive the 9.5, 9.1 and 9cs to it's potential. the 9.5's are 88dB sensitive and may need more juice for it to maximize the sound quality. why not just save up for a better amplifier with more features. going the speaker route upgrade first may not bring out the best qualities of your speakers as bigger speakers does'nt always mean it would sound better
as you will need a sufficient amp to drive them.
maybe considering getting a better receiver as an upgrade can open up your existing speakers and bring out a better SQ for your wharfedale 9.1.
