We have 200 Watt speakers. Will these controls work for them or do I have to purchase different controls?

Do not buy this controller. These were awful. Spend the extra money and buy the niles controllers. I wrote another review on this product talking to what i mean by how bad they are !!

It doesn't matter your speakers, that's your receiver. This only allows you to have background sound outside or in a hallway. Not for jamming out.

The real question is do you normally run them with 200 watts of power?? The control is spec,ed at 100 watts. But for home use even to the most hearing impaired user Most folks will not use more than 20 / 30 working watts of power though the speakers are rated for 200 watts that just means that that is the peak excursion they should be able to tolerate without a failure. What is your amp rated at How many watts?? Knowing this how hard do you run it at?? a 200 watt amp run at half volume should deliver approximately 100 watts output power. I have 250 watt speakers and a 60 watt amp and can barely tolerate them run to 50 % past that I risk hearing damage and a visit by the local constabulary My speakers are really efficient. I am a believer that its not the power but the efficiency that rules. I do professional Sound reinforcement and rarely need to use more than 200 watts to the mids and that's to rock a crowd into the couple hundred. If you are truly using more than this consider building a more efficient system. My use of the volume control is to trim outdoor speakers rated at 50 w from an amp that outputs 25 watts

These speakers are not self powered. You will need an amp of some kind to power them. They are good speakers for the price. I like mine.

Yes, this would function with those speakers. I have 2 of 1800 watts peak each one and it sound amazing and no overheating to

You can control by any means you like...the speakers are not the source.If you have a volume control on your source, just use that. CD player, computer sound card, DAC...up to you.I use an external sound card with a volume knob, i leave the PC software volumes on 100% and how high you put the volume on the speakers is up to you, you just regulate it with whatever comes before the speakers.

You can, but it will change the ohm rating if you use two or more pairs of speakers. The manual lists what ohms and wattage changes occur with each combination of buttons will be very clearly, unfortunately I can't seem to find it right now. I have only run one pair of speakers at a time personally.

Dieckmann, you have not mentioned what watt are you speakers. i have the same problem too but my speakers are like 40W. i am usuing my old speakers till i get a deal on a new 80-100W speakers.so maybe if you upgrade the speaker is you have low Watt ones you will get good sound at 30-40 level.hope this helps

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 have sold the house I put these in but they are great sounding speakers . I suggest you verify via Yamaha website if the rated wattage is a concern. I am putting Yamaha in at the new house but a different style due to mounting arrangment

Yes they need a lot of power to work .. I run the pair off a 100 watt receiver and they sound ok .. You get what you pay for

I am not sure what you are trying to say. Speakers don't have any watts in them. They can accept a certain power input, measured in watts, before distorting. These are rated to accept 35W (thirty five watts) continuous, and up to 105W peak power. Visit www.InfinitySpeakers.com for details.

You want your speakers to be wired into 2 ohms, not 4 in order to get the full 500 watts out of this amp. Otherwise your limited to 300. Let me suggest these speakers, they are what I have and are very impressive with this amp: MTX Audio Terminator Series TNE212D 1,200-Watt Dual 12-Inch Sub Enclosure

They are not powered. I sent my mixing board through a power amp to drive the speakers, we have four for over a year and are working fine. If you go with them you should change out the plastic mountings on the bottom with metal ones. The plastic did not hold out. Amazon sells the replacement mountings.

I checked my speakers and there is no information relative to wattage. All it has on it is that they were made in China (Surprised?) They are very low wattage I am sure.

I only have a 50 watt per channel and my speakers blast.I would be careful will the volume knob

These speakers are low on the bass side.. The subs will help considerably only if you amp em.. The amp I run is built into the Super tuner receiver.. So I assume 250 watt amp would do the trick.

I bought the 1200 watt one for my sub and the 1000 watt for my four 250 w speakers. Now you need to check RMS on both your speakers and the amp...they should match or you will have issues. For me, it matched.

Yes it would work. You may need to study rms and wattage prior to getting an amp to power them. Id your running highs these speakers will get very loud but you need to have the appropriate amp with enough channels to run each speaker or have knowledge in running a 2 ch at a specific rms
