Bronze Member Username: Gover_1Post Number: 26 Registered: Jan-04 | hi, i am currently running a pair of kef refrence 104 a/b speakers wih a quad 306, however , these are going to have to stay at home when i go to uni as they are 2 big, so am looking for something to run with the 306, bass response is not critical as i have a rel storm sub on the way so this will pad out the bass, the main problem is that the 306 is rated at 50w , i am looking at a pair of kef refrence 101 speakers, but these require 100w , would the 306 be able to drive these , or is it not worth trying, can anyone sujjest anything else? thanks , mark |

If you mean the KEF 101 http://www.kef.com/history/1970/model101.htm ...then it will work well with the Quad 306. The quoted "100 W" is the "programme rating" meaning that the speaker will handle a real amplifier output up to 100 W, if required. Those are excellent speakers, but low sensitivity (81 dB) by today's standards. If you live in a student room it will be a great system, in my opinion. It is the sub that will annoy your neighbours, most likely.... |
