Classe 2100- enough power for 805s?

[stewfoo]

I am trying to complete my system's surrounds. In-ceilings are just not cutting it. Any thoughts on whether the Classe 2100 is enough to handle surround duties driving 805s?

Hey Stew, that would be more than enough for those gems, thats a really nice amp.

I am running 803s and Htm3s with the Classe 3200. Would the power difference of 200 wpc for the mains and center be a mismatch for the 2100 and 805s for surrounds in a 5.1 system?

[RobP]

No, once you set your levels where they need to be I dont think that you will notice the difference in the surrounds, that 100wpc is way underrated.

No to hijack this thead, BUT, can a CAP-2100 deliver enough power for B&W 804N?

Miner, I believe that it would drive them just fine, I have a CA101 running my N803s and they sound wonderful.
