Current March “Speaker†issue of Stereophile has Sam Tellig reviewing the new Rega Brio 3 integrated amp which is rated by Roy Gandy (head of Rega) at 49 watts per channel into 8 ohms (it’s Gandy’s cynical way of making fun of people who rely on specs says Tellig). Tellig states “its power rating of only 49 wpc means you MUST match it with loudspeakers that are reasonably sensitive - say 90db or better - and whose minimum impedence doesn’t dip below 4 ohmsâ€. It seems to me that Tellig is the one who is relying on specs and specs that are questionable at that: many speakers with sensitivities as low as 85db that do not drop below 4 ohms can be used very successfully and more than sufficiently loud for most ears with 50 wpc amps and some rated much less.
