I think you need a clean 150 watts of tube or 300 watts of SS to adequately drive this speaker. Before I bought a sub I would adequately power the speaker. But I know you don't need me to tell you this. Good luck on your purchase.

Hi Charles,
It would take an awful lot for the MC275 to clip in the OP's room.
But staying on the subwoofer question--won't adding an active sub with, say, 1,000 watts supporting the low end, take a huge load off the power amp? If yes, doesn't that change your answer on the MC275? I ask because I don't think there is any amount of power that will bring strong bass to the Sabrinas (even glowing reviews acknowledge this)
