Hi-
I just purchase a Rotel RB1070 to beef up my 2 channel listening, which I do more of than movie watching. As I'm waiting for it to arrive, I decided to download the manual and read a little about it. Inside the manual, this advice was offered by Rotel:
"Be aware that the RB-1070 is capable of highpower levels, in excess of 130 watts per channel. Make sure that your speakers can handle the power of the RB-1070. If in doubt about your speakers, ask your authorized Rotel
dealer for advice."
I then went to my DM 601 s3 manual and saw that the acceptable power ranges is 25W-100W. My question is, do I run the risk of damaging my speakers? Is it safe to say that I need to upgrade them to not run this risk? Or...does this much power not really affect them...or does it affect them only at high levels or long playing durations? Sorry for being ignorant on this topic, but I just don't want to damage my speakers.
Any advice/info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
