The manual that came with the Apogees' stated the specs you posted(50W into 8 ohm) with the added statement about "not to exceed 100W". I've been using the B&K amp (and the CJ Sonographe preamp) with the Apogees' since I bought the setup (1991) and never had any problems. I'm leaning toward using the Apogees' (as fronts)with the new Outlaws. Will probaly set up the old equipment in another room...I also have a Rotel turntable to go with either equipment. Thanks...
