Are these speakers very efficient, will they work with 15W amp like Lepai or Topping?

Definitely, they're 90dB, which just puts them in the efficient category. I run them off of the Topping TP23 (which I also LOVE) and I'm at about 25% on the volume knob most of the time and 50% if I want it nice and loud and rarely ever past 50%. With the Topping, they're clean up to about 75%-80% on the volume knob, which will easily fill a few hundred square foot room. I use them with the Klipsch SW-350 for a wonderful 2.1 desktop setup that I use at least 30+ hours a week. I have a pair of Micca MB42X and a Dayton SUB-800 in another 2.1 setup and my Klipsch setup has a more forward sound which has a bit more presence, but still has great nuance when listening to musical scores, etc. Very happy with my purchase!

I would think you would be hard pressed to find a more efficient, better sounding speaker...

I have 2 and only running 3000 watt amp and they sound pretty good and hit hard, I would say for the price they are a great deal.

Yes, that is OK. Just make sure to not over power them. Remember, the total power in will be divided in HALF, going to each speaker, so even if the 15" speaker can handle more, the total max power output of your amp shouldn't exceed twice the rating of the 12" speaker.

These are highly efficient speakers...they are rated at 98db @ 1 watt. 98 clean DB's is very loud. So, that is these speakers can be driven with a min. Of 10 watts-250 maximum output. You could probably drive these with a high quality 35 RMS amp and they would sound very very good. Just a a side note, it takes 2x the power to move from a 98 db to 99 db. So to get to 100 db (which is very loud) you would need 4 watts....105 db would require 96 watts and so on. A lot of speakers are rated with an efficiency of around 88-93 db at 1 watt. So you can see how efficient these speakers are. Just use or get a very good high quality amp...around 100 watts per channel and sit back and enjoy!

These speakers are surprisingly efficient although I'm running 2x 250w monoblocks it's really not needed (Only got the monos because I had M&K S150s and they need ALOT of power

I would think that amp would work fine. It's on the lower end for power output, but not much below the hybrid tube amp I use....and they sound great for me. The speakers are rated for amps with output between 10 watts, and 125 watts.

The speakers are 120 watts. Per. Max. If the amp is the same or lower watts per channel. Then it will work

It will produce sound, the quality will be questionable tho. I put 150w rms to mine and they sound amazing. Between 100w-200w would be ideal IMO. The more CLEAN power that you give them, the better they'll sound.

Should be fine. They are rated up to 100w. Just be sure that the impedence the amp requires (usually 8 ohms), to the speakers (I think 8 ohms).

you should be fine.. just make sure don't over power them.. you can blow the speakers.. they hit hard.. sound good with my amp..alpine and alpine head unit
308549
it would depend on what kind of power you're pushing to them. I'm cranking about 75 to mine and they are by far the cleanest loudest speakers ive owned

I'm not familiar with those speakers but since this amp is 120w and the speakers are 120w as well they'll work great. Just don't put the volume at max, just little by little. I have 2 90w monitors and it sounds great half volume. This amp came only with the power cord and no audio cable. I bought them here for like $3 dollars. Good luck

Absolutely! I currently use these speakers with a LP-2020A+ Lepai Tripath Class-T Hi-Fi Audio Mini Amplifier with Power Supply found on Amazon for around $20. They sound great too!

To be clear, this amp claims 45 W/channel *peak-to-peak*, not RMS. This unit will only put out a bit over 10 W/channel RMS. It will not hurt anything to drive larger speakers with a smaller amp, but you will not get the full volume your speakers are capable of. If your speakers are rated at 80W RMS, then this (10W RMS) amp will only produce 1/8 the power (which will sound about 1/2 as loud) as the speakers could put out with a larger amp. It depends on the efficiency of the speakers and the size of the space whether that will be loud enough for your needs or not.

They should work fine. I am driving a pair with a small amplifier (2x40 watts) and the volume is more than sufficient, albeit not rock concert levels.

Should be fine if they are 8 ohm speakers. I think RX-A2020 amps are overrated for power but I would not use it with 6 ohm speakers.
