Help me out here, I have a chance to buy some Proac 2.5 clones---used (cheap too) not in the visual condition but they have the hi dollar Scan speak drivers ---Question is ---how much power do they need to sing sweetly??? I have a Sherwood S 5500 II that will do about 36Wpc on a good day---I'm told two different stories---min 50Wpc to rock and roll (which I do mostly on saturday afternoon between 2:30 and 6:45) and the other story is that they need extra power to do their headroom thing??? Any experience with this speaker out there??? Jim
This may be irrelevant but I used to run Proac 1sc's on a ST 70 and got good results. BTW I have one of those Sherwood 5500, this is the one that uses 7868's correct?
proac clones produce 86 db for one watt This is low . average speakers is about 90 db. Think you need at least 70 to 80 watts if you have a medium sized room.
