While the amplifier may be "audiophile-grade", 12.5W per channel is pretty weak.

- nl 14y agoMeh. If it really is audiophile then 12.5W isn't too bad. Something like the Marantz PM5004 is 35W/channel[1] and it is over $400 just for the amplifier [1]http://us.marantz.com/us/products/pages/productdetails.aspx?CatId=HiFiComponents&ProductId=PM5004 http://us.marantz.com/us/products/pages/productdetails.aspx?...
- calinet6 14y agoClass D amps are enormously efficient and have good clipping characteristics, so 12.5W is plenty for most speakers and rooms. Fun fact: 95% of your music stays within 1W of your amplifier's capability at comfortable listening levels.
- bherms 14y agoDid not know that... It's been a while since I've really read up on my electronics info. Right now I have the EMPTek E55Ti towers (50-200W recommended) and the Onkyo TX-NR818 (135W per channel).
