Hi, it's me again. After placing an order with Outlaw Audio on their Model 7700 amplifier, I was wondering if its power output of 300 wpc @4-ohm would be too powerful for the LSi9's whose recommended amplifier power is 200 wpc. Wouldn't the amplifier damage the LSi9's? Should I use the LSi's with Outlaw Model 7125 whose power output is 190 wpc @4-ohm instead? Your feedback would be, again, greatly appreciated! Thank you! :)

I haven't got to say this yet until now. You can never have too much power going to the speakers. They will not get damaged.

The more the merrier! The amp won't be putting out nearly that much except for short peaks. . . in which case you will truly appreciate those extra watts, current, and dynamic headroom.

Buy and Enjoy!

Thanks for replying! I was concerned only because of what I read in Outlaw Model 7700's manual as the following:

Due to the high power output capability of your power amplifier, it is important that it not
be used with speakers not capable of handling the amplifier’s power output. Before using
the amplifier for the first time, make certain that your speakers are capable of handling
its rated power output, at the impedance rating of your speakers. Outlaw Audio is not
responsible for damage to any speaker system or other component that is caused by using
products whose power rating is lower than that of the amplifier.

Is this something I souldn't be concerned about? Thank you! :confused:

That would be "Legalese" for if you do something really stupid don't call Outlaw Audio because we ain't responsible for stupid audio tricks.

Your LSi's will love you for the extra power.

Hooking them up to a 1,000 wpc amp would be fine too.

In your case, as long as you don't put the volume up to 10, you should be fine. If it gets so loud that it starts to distort(your ears will be in agony), then turn it down.

My Anthem puts out 375 watts at 4 ohms and its perfect for the 9's and the LSiC too.
