I just purchased a pair of 685s from a local dealer. He has some rotels that he'd like to sell me, but the cheapest he has is 40wpc at 599. I was told that the B&Ws like more power than less, though, so I've been looking at some other options.
One amp that is highly reccomended is the Onkyo A-9555. It's rated at 85wpc with 120w dynamic peak power at 8ohms. Given that the B&Ws have a recommended power handling of 25-100 watts, does this mean the Onkyo could blow the 685s at its 120 watt dynamic power? I know very little about matching wattage, and I trust the Head-Fi community, so I figured I'd ask you before I go prowling on the internet.
Thanks guys.
