Hi I was hoping to get some advice . I have a chance to
get a Burmester 878 amp and was wondering if it has enough
Power to drive a set of Energy Veritas 2.8 , also wondering
if they would be a good match if amp is powerful enough .
I am under the impression the 2.8 s are 4 ohm and minimum
recommended power is 70 watts . The preamp is available
and is an 897 . Any thoughts or input appreciated

Thanks
