Default Powerful enough for my speakers?

So go ahead and compare. I'd be interested to read your opinions.


I have some 20 yr old MS 55Ti floorstanders. I thought
that they were sounding lacking in treble bite and image. Then
I bought a lot more power and... Yes clear top and more solid
bass. I think MS speakers need *oodles* of power. I'm hitting mine
with 200 wpc. Big room though. I was told in this ng that MS
speakers have high power headroom and that mine, though
nominally 150 wpc actually have a protective device that stops
them at 300. I would have doubts about the power suggested
for the size of room.
