Topic: Wharfes for Kenwood KRF V6070D

[wacksy1021]

Newbie question po. If I have an existing Kenwood KRF V6070D and planning to purchase wharfes 9.1 and 9cs will the speakers function properly and be driven by my amp with no problems. ( I still have no funds for amp upgrade since I am just starting  :'( hehe)

using my newbie mind it seems everything will be ok since the reciever is 6.1 at 100W per channel and the speakers are 100w also. but reading through this thread it seems the wharfes need a stronger amp to fully drive the said speakers and that worries me.

Lastly, will be replacing the 9.1 eventually with 9.5s and use the existing 9.1 as rears in the near future. With this new set up will the amp stil be sufficient enough to drive all of these.

As always your help are always appreciated sirs. Thanks in advance.

i'm using a wharf 9.1 (86db/w/m)* with a 12watt amp and it goes uncomfortably loud without distortion, my listening area is small though. Most of our music listening is done around 1-5watts, So as far as loudness is concerned you'll be okay.

*at 85db the Permissible Exposure Time is 8 Hours a day before hearing damage occurs, according to NIOSH

Thanks sir ryan. How about for movie viewing as I am planning to pair this set up to my blu ray player via digital toslink connection.
