Shaam Deputy Gunslinger Registered: 06/22/14 Posts: 6	Guys, I have been looking for a mono block amp for my B&w htm62 center channel speaker for quite some time . Manufacturer recommended max watts for that speaker is 120 watts. Sensitivity of that speaker is 87 db. Will 2200 be a overkill for that speaker? Thanks in advance Edited by Shaam (06/23/14 04:42 PM)

The mono block may, or may not, be an upgrade depending on what you are using. _________________________ 975/7075/SMS-1 Aperion Verus Grand Towers & Bookshelves, Verus Forte Center, Infinity Surrounds, Ultra-X12 Oppo BDP-203, XBOX360, Xbox One LG 65" OLED RR2150 w/Klipsch SCR-2

If it worries you, place a slo-blo fuse in line on the positive side (1 amp) and it will protect the speaker from overload. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner
