125W @16ohm, what amp?


Hi!

I recently got 2 UPM-1 Meyer passive speakers and I’m now trying to get my head around all these technical terms and get an amp for it.

I’ve some questions:

  1. I never had passive speakers before so I’m a bit confused about the meaning of 125W at 16ohms
  2. Can I use a 4ohm or 8ohm amplifier with it?
  3. I want it full blast, is a 200w amp fine (2x100w)?

Thanks in advance!

If you want to play loud, you want real power. These are sound reinforcement type loudspeakers, they will play loud, not sure if you will want to hear what comes out.
