Am I going to blow the Gallo A'divas


Hi all,
I am in the process of building a gallo surround sound system. I have 3.0 in front, Ref AV center for center, and I would like to put the A'divas in the rear. My concern though is they will be hooked up to an Emotiva XPA-3 which outputs 300 watts into 4ohms. I will be crossing over the a'divas at 80hz but am I just asking to blow these or can they handle it?

As always this will depend on room size and playback levels, but...

I used the A'diva as rear speakers a while back. It was a large room and SPLs got big on occasion. They never complained or sounded overworked. Personally, I'd tend to disagree on spending more for rear speakers, unless you really do need more max output capability (or prefer the aesthetics). I've never heard a ton of benefit from better rear speakers in any of my multi-channel systems over the years. Just MHO.
