There is no exact answer to the question of what amplifier size you should use for a loudspeaker. The power rating in EAW’s specifications only means it has passed our standard noise test, providing a rating that can be used as a point of comparison with other loudspeakers. This rating does not necessarily correspond to the best amplifier size to use. Rather, the amplifier should be sized according to both the sound levels required and the type of audio signals that will be reproduced. If you are unsure of how to determine this, consult with a qualified professional or contact EAW’s Application Support Group (see paragraph 4.5). Preventing damage to the loudspeaker is a function of operating your audio system so that the loudspreaker is not stressed beyond its design limits. If operated improperly, such as driven into clipping, even an amplifier sized below EAW’s power rating can cause damage to your loudspeaker.
