Here is an accurate, but complex answer. Output power varies with input voltage, volume control setting, and speaker impedance. The power amplifier in this receiver can cleanly drive 100 Watts RMS maximum into 8 ohm speaker loads. The power is highest when the sound is loudest, less when the sound isn't so loud. Amplifier distortion can kill your tweeters, so, never turn the volume up so loud the amplifier clips. Your speakers are rated for normally balanced music. There is less power at high frequencies than at low frequencies in normal music. Distortion from amplifier clipping can kill the tweeters in speakers that have higher power rating than the amplifier because the distortion is higher frequencies added to the music. Amplifier clipping sounds like a shrill, fuzzy, lack of clarity. Power amplifiers are voltage controlled voltage sources. The volume control controls voltage gain. With normal input voltages, never turn the volume up all the way. Output power doubles for the same voltage when the speaker impedance is halved. Amplifier output current is limited, so maximum amplifier output power does not double when the load impedance is halved, so amplifier clipping starts at a lower output voltage, so don't turn the volume up as high to avoid amplifier clipping with low impedance speakers. The power amplifier in this receiver is capable of clean power output higher than 100 Watts into 8 ohms for brief periods. This is called dynamic power. Normal music does not maintain high volumes continuously. Your speakers are capable of handling clean power higher than the maximum rating for brief periods also. The moral of this story is: the amplifier in this receiver will not have any problem driving your speakers, but use your ears. Listen for shrill, fuzzy, distortion. Don't turn the volume up so high that the amplifier clips and burns out your tweeters or your ears.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.100 watts rms each as long as they are 8ohm speakers.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is max watt and then there is RMS. Go by the RMS. If you look up the specs and it says 150w is the max then my guess is your RMS is likely around 75 to 100w.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
