Short-time lurker but deep-diver down-the-rabbit hole first time poster here,
I recently purchased the Revel F226Be's as my first set of speakers which are rated at the following:
Recommended amplifier power range 50 – 200 Watts RMS
Nominal impedance 8 ohms
Sensitivity (2.83V/1m) 90 dB
I was dead set on the Purifi 400s but after speaking with Apollon Audio, he has pushed me towards the NC500 or NC1200 after showing me this video. Summary of the video is that we actually need more power than our speakers recommended power range. Obviously Apollon is very educated far far far beyond me but this is very confusing a new information to me especially because I was sold that the F226Be's are fairly easy to drive based off reviews.
Do you believe that the NC500 or NC1200 will help the F226Be's sound better than Purifi amp? Why or why not? Also, due to the speakers only being rated for 200 WRMS maximum, is there a risk of blowing out my speakers with the NC500 versus the Purifi?
