In the forums opinion should I be aiming for more power than 50 rms per channel on these things? I want an amp that could one day power some ls50s when I can afford them, but q300s are what it would be powering for a while. The NAD sounds decent but it doesn't blow me away really... Thanks for your opinions

Specs:
MAXIMUM OUTPUT 106dB
AMPLIFIER REQUIREMENTS 25 - 100 W
SENSITIVITY 85dB (2.83V/1m)
NOMINAL IMPEDANCE 8 Ohms (min.3.2 Ohms)

Opinion:
If I had a pair, I'd surely attach one of my dusty old 250W amps.

Depends on your room size and how far you're sitting from them. 50wpc is probably overkill if you're using near field.
