What's the sensitivity of these speakers? Would my Trends Audio t-amp drive them to good moderate volumes, say 70-80db in 15x15 room?

Eduarrdo - the infinity speakers have a very crisp and precise mid to high end sound. Low frequency is good to very good but, probably may benefit with added subwoofer. I have these speakers in a 12x12 room driven by an 80 watt Harman Kardon and they fill the room with rather nicely. Infinity's are excellent speakers for the price.

These speakers are power hungry and have already eaten two of the neighborhood cats

Sounds like it'll be slightly under-powered. It's always better (IMO) to overpower speakers to avoid blowing them at odd frequencies and high volumes. Power is exponentially more important than quality of speakers. Cheap speakers will sound great with an awesome power source but great speakers won't live up to their potential with inadequate or overrated ( cheap) power/amplifiers. My suggestion is overpowering your speakers about 15-20% more than the speakers are rated for. Won't matter if you don't "work" your speakers hard but under powering effects rebound of the speaker cone and can tear them apart. I believe these speakers are rated for either 125w or 150w. I matched mine up perfectly and wish I would have gotten a bigger amplifier, although they sound great but begin to struggle at very high volumes. It'll be fine if you don't abuse your speakers though.

I got an Audix MM-15 studio monitors that I use with this T-Amp and they work great but you cannot find them any more. Try Boston Acoustics A 23 which israted at 89 db sensitivity and is also a reliable brand. If 3.5 woofer is too small for you try the A 26 instead which has 6.5 inch woofers both available here at Amazon.

Are they 2400 Watts Continuous? 2400 Watts Program? Peak? Is that the rating for each speaker or only one? What is the nominal impedance of each speaker? It is important to know all of these things to make the correct suggestion. I assume that they are probably rated at 600 Watts continuous (1200W Program/2400W Peak) because it is rare to find 1200W and 2400W (continuous) 15" drivers. Also, how loud do you plan on playing them? Do you need them running at full volume or do you just want to listen to them at "normal" levels in your home and maybe somewhat louder on occasion? Heck, just tell the name and brand of speaker; that will be the most helpful.

I have the same thing and iam using a pair of polk tsi 400 tower speakers for my home theater set up but you could use any speaker that can handle at least a 100 watts of power and have a good audio sensitivity on them at least 89 db and up! hope this help you out1 Tom

I think the match is acceptable... At the same time a more powerful amp will sure do better. I was hoping for more "umph". Im going to try the speakers with a more powerful amp to see if theres any difference.

I do not have them hooked up as midrange so can only answer for the low end. These speakers really perform well in a ported box with a great sound for inside the car. It will not travel far outside the vehicle, and if not careful can clip. With the right settings as long as you are going for a good crisp mix, these work well. If you are looking for something that is going to push a lot of air for bass that you feel inside a building, these will not do it. I built the box myself for a single GTO804 following the specs on the sheet and used a shop vac tube as the bass port. The potential is found more in the ported than in a sealed box imo.

At this price point, I think that they sound great. Bass is pretty good considering the size, for example I use mine in my home office, and they provide good even sound throughout the small space. Would not recommend for a large room, but they are pretty flat eq wise. Perfect for listening to podcasts and such, but definitely not something that's going to blow you away as far as volume is concerned.

I'm using these as fronts in a 5.1 set up. They are powered by a Harmon Kardon 1510 AVR, rated to oush 75w per. Believe m when I tell you that you will abslutely NOT be disappointed with these speakers as fronts. They will handle bass (tight and solid), midrange and highs (clarity and detail). They have a zobel crossover configuration in them so you can't go wrong. These are very good speakers, and will stand up to speakers costing more then twice as much. If you doubt, just youtube it for a user review.

These speakers will work fine -- unless you turn it up to the full 150 watts power level -- but that would be extremely loud. So, for normal listening level, this is not a problem.

I am running them with 50 watts per channel from a kenwood double din deck and they do very well. Using a 4x100watt amp would give you more punch but any good amp with more than that is overkill for these speakers.

I'd stick with the same. Some amplifiers can operate "unsafely" I.e. overheating or crappy sound, if they can't produce the right impedance per whatever ohm each speaker has. I'd start from ground up if you're wanting bigger better sound

Buy speakers with high sensitivity. This amp clips easily under heavy load. So get 8 ohm nominal speakers. Klipsch may be a good starting point. Maybe zu audio, but they are pricier

My room is 15 X 30 Feet, will these work well for home theatre use? I don't listen to music much

Depends on your system and sound you need. Are you lacking in bass ? If your room is small. 12 x12 you might be ok depending on your acoustics. If you want more bass and your amp can drive them, go for the 163. I enjoy the 153's and 143's however i have a polk powered sub and polk towers that push plenty of bass. The 153 is a good bookshelf speaker i use as my rear surrounds. The offer pretty good base. The 143 i use as side surrounds.

TP30 has 15+15W RMS output which is sufficient to drive medium-size bookshelf speaker or desktop monitors. For larger speakers, you will need higher sensitivity. I'd recommend a newer model Topping VX1 which has 25+25W and a 24 bit DAC. Best aspect of either unit is that in addition to USB you can plug in a line level input also.

Not to hear sound, but getting speakers like this is definitely best with an amplifer. I recommend 50-60Wrms to each side (with HPF around 90 hz) for optimal preformance.
