The manufacturer suggests a minimum of 17wpc and I would say that the success of 8wpc will depend on how many db's you're looking to produce. This speaker is extraordinary and I'd be hard pressed not to suggest you give it a try. I will also suggest you give the manufacturer a call and get his insight on the subject. Sincerely, Mario
