RS 3b or 4b

Would a Project One Mark 1500 adequately ower either of these speakers? Don't know many specs on the P-One except 150w per channel.

Thanks,

Neither is a "very" difficult load, but I would not try it with a vintage receiver unless it was well rated into 4 ohms. They love an amp with lots of current to snatch the bass by the nape of the neck and make it behave properly. I too am not familiar with the amp you asked about. HTH

What about a Hafler DH-200? I have one and specs say 240w at 4 ohms.

Do a search. Seems like gordon or echowars or merrylander has misgivings about the haflers http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-12485.html I guess it was GordonW. I have used NAD and Adcom with both my IIIbs and 4bs. Right now I use the nad 2600 with the 4bs. The 555 with the IIIbs. I don't know if Gordon's opinion is widespread, but I for one value it. Don't push with the Hafler for sure.
