Hello everybody,
I am new here! I've read several threads about that Yamaha amp and I've got the opportunity to get one at a good price. (btw I simply do not have the budget to buy the R-N2000A which, in my case, would be basically three times the price of the R-N1000A: so my question is about the R-N1000A)
On the R-N1000A specs page (the one with the picture of an unshaved man): https://europe.yamaha.com/en/products/audio_visual/hifi_components/r-n1000a/specs.html
It says:
and:
And my speakers specs (which I already own), do say this:
My question is simple: would the R-N1000A be able to drive these speakers effortlessly?
I'm asking purely based on the stated specs of the speakers: if I post the brand/model/price of the speakers people are going to write that I shouldn't pair a $$ amp with $$$$ speakers. But from a "science" point of view I don't get why I should use a $$$$ amp: I just want to make sure that R-N1000A, which looks sweet, has the "watts" to power my speakers.
So yeah that's my question: knowing that I like the features of the R-N1000A and knowing that I don't have the budget for a R-N2000A, shall the R-N1000A be able to power my speakers?
Any help appreciated,
