Usher speaker's power handling

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!

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.

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.

rhyno

Though they claim the power handling to be in the 100 to 150 range I have found them to be more efficient than what the #s read.At 45 watts the 8871s are so loud it is pretty much ear splitting.Do not be concerned on their #s as I do not believe they are really accurate.You will notice their PDF file is still not available,and that will really show more clearly the status.
