Howdy AVS,
A buddy of mine recently inherited a set of cello amati AR-LST speakers from his Uncle, unfortunately without an amp or much information about them. He has a set of four passive speakers, how would I go about estimating what kind of amp I should pick up for these? I should also mention that they're around 20 years old, and were supposedly expensive at the time of purchase.
Each speaker has 1x12" 4x6" and 4x5" so 4(1x12" 4x6" and 4x5")=4x12" 16x6"6 and 16x5".
Doing a little rough searching modern day 12" speakers take 400W, modern day 6" speakers draw 240W, modern day 5" speakers draw 200W.
If I'm splitting power like this four ways, and to this many speakers it's beginning to look large.
Would speakers of the same size take a comparable amount of power to what 12" speakers from 1990 or 1980 would draw?
Any thoughts or has anyone seen something like this and can give me some advice?
