Need help matching speakers with amplifer


I have a pair of Boston Acoustic Vr-20 floorstanding speakers. Im not sure what the RMS continous power rating of these speakers are in order to make the best match with an amplifier. In Hi-Fi Engine the spec’s just say recommended Amplifier 15-200 watts at 8ohms. is this saying the continous is 15 and the peak is 200. I would think the continous would have to be more than 15 watts being these are larger floor standing speakers. Thanks for help from the community!!

The rating for the speaker isn’t really anything more than a recommendation. In general the highest quality amp you can afford, more power is better. Since we are talking about a very budget oriented speakers, I am assuming your are not expecting to spend a lot. You might have a look at Schiit amps. They are very good audio components for the money. If you are new to this pursuit... yes, Schiit. 

 

What is the rest of your system?
