Hello, i'm new to these things, does anyone know if my understanding of power amp and cabinet matching is correct?
"When you’re matching a power amp to a PA speaker setup, a good rule is to pick an amplifier that can deliver power output equal to twice the speaker’s continuous rating. So, a speaker with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms and a continuous power rating of 350 watts will require an amplifier that can produce 700 watts into an 8-ohm load"
I want to buy a cabinet that it's listed power rating is 60W and it's impedance is 16ohm, so a matching power amp have to output a wattage of minimum 60w to 120w per channel right? and should be rated to handle a speaker impedance of 16ohm.
However i rarely find power amps that are rated to handle 16ohm, and if they do, often have a high wattage like the seymour duncan power stage 200.
If someone can recommend me a power amp suitable for this cab with a good price-quality ratio i'd grealty appreciated it, thanks.
