I'm thinking about buying either the LM3875 or LM4780 kit to power my less sensitive 85 dB/watt speakers but have read that GC's in general work best with speakers in the 90 to 95dB range. I asked Peter the same question and he replied:
"LM3875 will work with your speakers, but it's hard to predict the results. You may also consider LM4780 which will deliver double the current and can be also supplied with premium resistors. Soundwise, they are very close".
I don't have much experience with GC's so would be interested to know if anyone else has had the chance to try out AS kit amps with lower sensitive speakers such as mine and what your thoughts are.
Hmmm....what about bi-amping my speakers with either of the amps - would this help negate the sensitivity issue?
Thanks
