What Does This Mean: Amplification: 2 x 400 watt per loudspeaker?


I'm still kind of new here but actively learning more.  I'm trying to grasp why they would use two channels of amplification per each speaker.  Is this bi-amplified? It's described as a Full-range in-room loudspeaker.  It's Steinway & Sons new Model A. Just curious because I've never seen a speaker such as this.

Based on a quick read, yes, these are "hybrid" crossover speakers.  Meaning, they have an external crossover that does the crossover between the woofers and the rest of the system.

Each section requires 1 amplifier channel.  There would also be a passive crossover as well, between the tweeter and midrange.

You need 2 channels of amplification per speaker.  One for the woofers and one for the mid/tweet section.
