SPEAKER SYNOPSIS
250 Watts of RMS Power per Amplifier or 125 Watts per Channel
The maximum load per channel is 125 watts.
The generic speaker wiring diagrams cover 2 to 8 speakers. Diagram 1 has a
Question: Why a 150 watt rating on the speaker?
Answer: Safety factor/life of speaker
These speakers are expensive, providing a lot of sound in a localized area which does not necessarily optimize the room sound.
A better way to distribute the sound is by adding more speakers. Diagram 2 has a layout of 4 speakers at 4 ohms each and only having a rating of 75 watts each, which includes a safety factor. The expense factor should now be less for each speaker.
For a really big room, Diagram 3 may be the best scenario. Diagram 3 shows a series/ parallel hookup with up to 8 speakers. The advantage is the ratings are 8 ohms at only 35 to 40 watts each. Thus giving you a lot of sound at a reasonable price. To ensure the speakers work correctly, the 2 wired in series should be of the same make and model. Different models wired in series will not give equal outputs, and the frequency response may degrade sound quality.
