Thank you so much, looking at the McIntosh 1502 which does have 2ohm binding posts. I have heard to try both the 2 ohm and 4 ohm setup to see which sounds better, but both will still have 150wpc. Didn't want to invest in such an amp that will certainly be good enough for any future modern speaker but damage these classics that cannot be easily replaced. BTW, the stands are the modern JBL L100 Classics stands and are a perfect fit.

Have a set of mid 68 3a's with cloth Alincos that have been restored (correct potentiometers and new capacitors) otherwise all original. Looking at a new tube amplifier (150wpc vs 75wpc). Question is the 150wpc too much power and is the 75wpc too little? Driving them now with a transistor 80wpc and they do sound good. Do not want to damage anything because this set sounds amazing and has a lot of sentimental value (they were my fathers). I don't listen too loud, but I do enjoy hearing them go where the music goes. They are also in a fairly large room that could handle a bit more volume.
