Hi, I have a question as for building a new hifi system, the second one, mainly for relaxed quiet listening in a normal room circa 4x6 meters, a position from speakers circa 2 meters.
I have bought a vintage combo of Sony TA-E86B preamp + TA-N86 amp recently. I use the preamp combined with a vintage Sony TA-3200F + modern Elac speakers in my main hifi system right now. I plan to use the new Sony amp separately. Now to my problem.
What speakers should I use for the new Sony TA-N86 amp, which has a switchable Class A and Class B section. It is not an hybrid one Class A/B. It has a separate switch in a power supply for each Class. It is not a tube amp, purely Transistors, without any ICs. A wattage for Class A is 2× 15W. Class B has circa 75W. Class A should be a preferred way of usage. Now, what speakers as for wattage, sensitivity, and so on? I think about Beovox S 45-2 3-way vintage speakers, but it has 45 W. Is it useable/not too much wattage difference?? And they will not be too efficient as modern speakers ...
I have an information from previous owner, that it works great in Class A with Magneplanar Mg III speakers, but I do not know them.
Sorry for a long question of a Newbie, but I have not found any objective answers on my problem in net.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
