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)

150/300 means your speaker can handle 150 watts of continious power and 300 watts max peak power.
Speaker sensitivity showes how loud the speaker will sound at indicated power (usually it states at 1 or 2 watts).
Hope it helps.
