We usually use 2-20 watts while listening to actual music. Even if you pair your speakers with 20,000 Watt amps so long as you keep the volume to adult listening levels you'll be fine. Pay attention to audible distortion and turn the volume down when you hear it and you'll be fine.
Exceding recommended power rating
Hi Folks,
I have a question about power ratings of speakers.
I have purchased a pair off Dynaudio Focus 360's which have a power handling rating of 300 watts at 4ohms.
The amplifier I would like to use with it is a Conrad Johnson Premier 350,which has a out put rating of 350 watts into 8 ohm's,and 600 watts into 4 ohm's.
My question is simple.Is the amplifier going to blow my speakers even if I never play it very loud?
I have seen reviews on here and other places where the reviewer has said they thought these speakers could take even 1200 watts.
This amplifier fits what I'am looking for,I just want to make sure I don't ruin my speakers.
thanks
