Those bookshelf speakers are pretty low efficiency, I think the 48V would serve you better and leave some headroom.

I cut my teeth on setups looking at photos of Hendrix in guitar player & guitar world mags back in the late ‘80’s and early 90’s. He had them set pretty low, naturally I thought that’s how it’s done. I really haven’t seen a reason to change. They all have unique characteristics which I try to...

If you have a multitude of drivers or speakers combinations I think it’s inherent to the hobby. I have probably a dozen or more, some are dedicated for experimenting others just for listening. I’m not including guitar amps in this either…;) and it’s crowded in the lab.
