Why do speakers recommend amp wattage?


My Usher speakers recommend am amp with 80 watts per channel. Ive heard amp wattages differ significantly, so why bother with a recommended wattage? What would happen if I used 200 watt mono amps (obviously overkill), or a 7 watt tube amp? Thanks.

Duh. The more Watts listed on a speaker, the louder it is. That's why I only buy White Van speakers. They are always, like, 250 Watts and really rock the house. Way better than that Bose crap.
