minerva Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 What the different to have a greater power watt in an AV. For example normal entry level usually have 75 watt. And 100 over watt the price is twice. The watt affect the speakers watt.IF we have higher speaker watts, we need to purchase higher pwer watt in AV to match the sound accordlingly Please advice me a rookie. Thank in advance

Thank in advance The maximum watts of the spk means how much it can operate giving that amount of wattage from the source. The so call 100 watts per channel is how loud your amp able to perform when the volume is iat maximum. So logically you won't be able to use the specified watts. A bigger amp means you have more power in reserve to drive bigger speakers. Hope this helps.
vink Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 What the different to have a greater power watt in an AV. The sound output in an AV system is extremely dynamic ie. with instant and usually sustained loud sound level to enhance viewing pleasure. You need sufficient reserve power (headroom or buffer) from your electronics to drive the speakers without reaching distortion levels. More power is always desirable (depending on speakers types) but cost more dollars. entry level usually have 75 watt. And 100 over watt the price is twice. Not necessary so. If within similar brand and range, circuit design is almost similar but higher power output means bigger power supply needed and higher spec components so usually will cost a little fair bit higher. On the other hand, different brands with similar rated power can differ by alot. watt affect the speakers watt.IF we have higher speaker watts, we need to purchase higher pwer watt in AV to match the sound accordlingly Wattage rating given on speakers has no real meaning. One would not be able to listen for long when operating at that kind of output levels (except in discos). What is important would be the speakers' efficiency rating in dB/w/m which should provide a good general estimation of the power needed to drive them adequately. Higher watts output is always desirable whereas insufficient power can easily results in speaker damage and must be voided. Low efficiency speakers required more power rated amps/receivers to perform adequately.
