Either that or you have dodgy crossovers in your Spendors.

Compacts need a bit of power to go loud. I'd imagine Spendors would too, but not that amount unless you are stone deaf. ................... or as Martin says, the speakers need some attention. Ive ran compacts on a 20w t amp. didnt go very loud and sounded poor; needed more current(not a benign load

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Just can't see any reason why a Krell should struggle with a BC2. Really odd.

Just got an LED to light for about 2 seconds. With some hip hop though. Just after I turned the level up by 3dB. Not done it since though.
The JM Labs I'm using are a bit mid forward, just a touch but enough to give a it more presence that makes you keep the volume down, wheras I guess the Spendor has a BBC dip, Or Dave likes to blast it out. Or both, Fifty watts isn't that much really.

I wouldn't worry too much. The amp has internal protection. It'll just switch off if you do anything it doesn't like.
(did you get the dedicated 15 amp mains lead with it? Apparently, it's essential)
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Yes I did. As thick as a baby's arm.
Well not quite. But it is hefty. I did take the precaution of skimming the manual before hooking it up. I mean something like this you don't piss about, Like the first time you get a hold of a proper firearm. You're excited but cautious too
