Saw a few posts about older Powernodes being able to drive 4 ohm speakers, but can the newest POWERNODE 2021 drive 6 ohm speakers without damaging itself or the speakers? 

In particular considering the Monitor Audio CP-WT260.

thanks for the help!

  Hi Scott

  Simple math;

  • 2 x 80 @ 8 ohms
  • 2 x 80 x 8 = 1280
  • 1280 / 6 = 213.33333 (let's call it 210 to 220)
  • 210 or 220 / 2 = About 105 to 110 W per channel at 6 Ohms

  Rest assured the Powernode will drive the MAs (and pretty much any other 6 ohm speakers) without any issures.

  Thanks for the replies and the requisite math! I purchased the Monitor Audio CP-WT240LCR speakers and they work excellent with the POWERNODE as expected.
