[QUOTE="Alexander Lane, post: 211838, member: 11430"] Hi Daniel, Actually exactly the opposite of what Haritz said is true, you should aim for an amplifier than has around double the RMS power of your speaker and then limit the power down to the rating of the speaker to avoid damage. This is to allow for headroom and to avoid over straining the amplifier, having too little power means you can end up creating a clipped (square wave) signal which is very damaging to loudspeakers. Here is a good article from Crown which explains this in detail. [URL]https://www.crownaudio.com/how-much-amplifier-power[/URL] - Alex [/QUOTE]
