    SCMS DS8S 805S Power?

    Right now I'm on track to buy a Parasound A51 amp but I am wondering how much power the SCMS DS8S and 805S can really handle. They are all three rated at 120 Watts RMS. I'm just wondering if the A52 at 125 Watts/channel is a better fit then the 250WPC an A51 cranks out. I currently don't have any of the listed but they are on the list when I can afford them (after the 802D's of course!).

    I think SCMS is 120 W rated but surely it can handle the A51 of 250 W

        I am running my SCMS on a MC205 rated at 200w a channel, but closer to 300w for front duty. I even have gotten the power gaurd lights to flicker so these speakers can handle the power!

        I was surprised that even at that level, the speakers sounded so clean and fluid. 200-250w is probably the sweat spot for these speakers.

          Woohoo, A51 it is for me then! Anybody have a better amp in that price range (used 2000-2800) that can perform better?
