Usher speaker's power handling


I was looking at the usheraudio.com web site, and noticed the speaker's power handling seemed rather low for full-sized beast. 100-150 watts.

Any comments/thoughts/ideas/doughnuts?

I guess my question comes down to: "am I missing something here?"

dont worry about max power handling. ever.

99% of listening is done w/in the first few watts. i think usher is 87db/w/m. that means at ear splitting level (say, 100db), its @ 20w.

---this is why you buy amplifiers that have class A bias through the first 10wpc.

KP,
I had a pair of 8871's that I was driving with a 600wpc solid state amp. I like to listen loud as often as I can, lol, and the speakers held up with aplomb. One of the finest speakers made IMHO.
Tremendous dbSPL output with minimal amount of watts. The 8871's are probably yielding 114-116 dbspl with 80-100 watts. Your ears will go first. Super-clean sound with superlative dynamics!
