How many Watts can it output? Can one use an amp to boost the sound? What is the max sound that can come out of these speakers?

I don't know the numerical value to answer your question, but Ia can tell you....... it's not very loud at all. I bought this unit to hook into my Sony BluRay player for a movie set up. In a very small meeting room with 10 very silent people, we were straining to hear dialogue.

my guess is it depends on your speakers ... audio amplifiers can be 25W, 75W, 125W, and up ... i use a 75W amplifier (made by PYLE) and it has plenty of power.

They don't have a wattage rating because they are not self-powered, but rely on a separate amplifier. The speakers are rated at 4ohm. I use the Audioengine amp to drive mine. There is plenty of volume and they sound great - much better than any other computer sound system I have owned.

I think that would be pushing it. They sound great, but that's in a relatively closed environment. Take a look at a speaker brand called energy take. They are Inexpensive, and an incredible bargain. You would need an amp, but you could try finding a cheap used one. Have fun!

I am using a 300 watt 5.1 amp to power these. I don't think you will be happy with anything less than 150 watts of power. They are remarkable sounding, though.....

500 watts is indeed the maximum power output for this unit. This is broken down over the sub and 5 satellite speakers giving you about a max wattage of about 80 watts per speaker.

If your speakers are powered these don't work.The 40 watt output is about 12-15 watts. This is a personal amp for just you at your computer. The 120 watt Pyle which is really about 50 watts .

You can't. They are not powered speakers. You will need a separate amplifier

Checked the Owner's Manual which lists the output as 20W + 20W, or 20 watts per channel. Very low distortion permits this compact unit to produce very high quality sound. I have it connected to AudioEngine bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer. I am VERY PLEASED with this product.

Depends. What are the required watts for the speakers you are hooking up? The 120 is peak, so you don't want speakers that require more than that to work.

Each speaker can handle 130 watts. Amplifier/receiver output is generally rated in terms of watts per channel, and an individual speaker (or system of speakers in a single enclosure with a common input) is connected to a channel. Speakers are therefore rated in terms of how much each individual enclosure can handle.

Dear Ananth, Thanks for your inquiry. This is a solid state integrated amplifier. The power output depends on what type of speakers you are using and can range from 45 watts to 60 watts. Eric C

The speaker specifications say it can handle 25 watts RMS. It's easy to say that the amplifier should be none larger than the spec. But, you could connect them to any size amp provided that you do not "turn up the volume" to a sustained "average" level of 25 watts. It will handle brief peaks of 50 watts. In everyday use, with any sized amplifier, you will know when you are sneaking up on a maximum level (it won't sound too good at that point).

I believe these are 120 watts rms and 500 watts peak each, hope that helps. Note that even at 120 watts you will want the bass turned down a bit. These speakers ratings are not tested throughout the entire frequency range. 500 watts going through these speakers at a very low frequency would blow them apart.

They don't have a built in amplifier.You will need an amp or receiver to power these speakers.They are very good performers for the price.

Spec wise I think they rate they at 90db. It doesn't take a whole lot of amplifier to make them sound good. I'm using 110 watts max on my Sony system and 100 watts on my Okyo system. Of course I'm only using a fraction of the power settings.

These are passive speakers. They do not have a built in amplifier. You will need a outside amplifier. I am using an older pioneer stereo amplifier to power the speakers.
