lol sorry about the upper case my caps lock was stuck for some unknown reason and was in a hurry ,
anyway back to the topic , the lcd 2 are 60ohm .
its not a question of turning the volume up till your ears pop, its the fact that they need more power to reach their full potential .
and do not agree that 1 watt of power per channel at 50ohm is sufficient to drive these planers the asgard will drive them but not to their full potential imho.
i have heard the lc2 2.2 on the lyr 2 and it has more punch and control in the low end i put that down to the 4 watts of power per channel
, on the asgard the low end was lacking somewhat. power is essential not just to blow your ear drums to kingdom come .
I had LCD-2s for over a year with the original Asgard and, when I got to compare it to the Lyr, actually preferred the Asgard. I didn't find either amp lacking in power.
