What it is probably telling you is that a 150/300 (8ohm/4ohm) amp is what it takes to drive this speaker to its maximum output. I must tell you that I find this is a specification that is mostly meaningless and it used by unknown named speakers sold by white van's. Most manufacturers will clearly recommend an amp with minimum wattage to drive their speakers and some will specify a max wattage as well. A 50w amp will drive this amp to peaks of about 106db's. A 150w amp will drive it to about 111db's +/- a db or so.
Minimum Amp power for spkr performance
Hi, What does the spkr's label as Nominal/musical power(w):150/300 really mean ? Does it mean it requires at least 150W Amp power to drive it ? Would a 50W amp-power(8ohm)be enough power to drive the spkr properly ? Your opinion and suggestion is highly appreciated and thanks in advance
Simon - PS :the spkr is of 89dB sensitivity(4-8ohm)
