Need some audiophile help, you guys would know better than /mu/
Looking to power Rti A1 Polk Speakers
I have an SMSL 160, it puts out 150 watts per channel. The thing has always had this awful whine when no sound is playing and it completely ruins the tone when im switching songs or the sound stops in a game
I'm considering getting a Creative Soundblaster x7, pic related. Found on Massdrop for $300, has all the specs I want. Thing is, max output is 50w and optimal is 35.
I never even turned my SMSL up to 50% volume, but a drop from 150w to 50 sounds drastic. Could I be fucking up my speakers with such low wattage? 20-120 is the range for the speakers but I want to be able to blast it without fear.
Do I buy?

If your range is 20-120 and that outputs 50 why are you worried. Also not sure everyone would agree with me but I think you can get more bang for your buck going with another amp.

Forget to add that I'm sure you're using shielded cabling but if you're not then you should consider that for the whine

Definitely using shielded, but if i did a poor job cutting the shield off at the tip could that be causing it?
I'm choosing x7 because it has dedicated passive, sub and mic input... 'gaming amp' without it being labeled by Razer or some shit
