Greetings all,
Can I use an amp rated a little bit above the rating of my cab?
Currently, I have an SWR workingpro 210 that can take up to 200 watts RMS which I power with an SWR workingman's 15 combo (160/200, I think, for 8/4 ohms respectively).
I want to switch to a smaller and more powerful combo amp and still use the 210. I would hope this beefy 210 cabinet wouldn't mind if I put 250 watts through it, but the engineers, who I respect, might say otherwise. What say you? Will I just start to distort as I bump a little over the 200 watt rating? Will I blow out the 210?
Small amps I'm looking at:
Ibanez Promethean 10" at 250/500 or
Markbass 121 at 300/500
Thanks for your input
