It is good practice to use an amplifier equal to the program power rating of the loudspeaker – so as to retain sufficient
headroom and good dynamic range. Care should be taken during operation to avoid amplifier clipping – as this can cause
serious damage to your loudspeakers. If in doubt, please contact your dealer who will be happy to assist you in correct
amplifier choice and setup.

A small power amplifier working too hard is more likely to damage a loudspeaker than a large
power amplifier working within its operating range!
