I apologize if this has been covered 100 times but I can't find a definitive answer.
I am wondering what is the philosophy for matching wattages of speakers and amps?
I am considering purchasing 75 watt RMS speakers and an amp that delivers 100 watt RMS per channel. Can I use the gain controls to effectively drive the speakers without damaging them?
From what I heave read, it is common to have the amp deliver more power than the speakers can handle so the amp doesn't have to work full out to deliver the power you want. Not sure if this is correct but that's why I'm here.
Thanks for your help.
