How many watts is this actually thought? I understand the sound is good? I cannot find this answer anywhere? thanks

I don't know how many watts it is. We ended up sending it back. The sound was good to start but it got scratchy.

I have 90 watts per channel. I have never turn it very loud, but works very well for my apartment. Very clear speech, which is what I am looking for. I would not be afraid to blast it a little if not for the neighbors. If you live in an apartment, you will be very happy with the sound and the price. I had been looking at $200 models a couple of year ago. I'm satisfied!!!

Yes, the power is not power full due to the fact that it uses for laptop and it doesn't have sub-woofer. If you want more or louder noise, you need to buy the system which has power sub-woofer. I have the same issue. Thanks

Date 14 October 2009. Hey I am late in the game. Can still find the 876 online. My question too you is do you think the 876 power rating is accurate. Also looking at the 806. The 806 is maybe $300 to $400 dollars less. Do you think their is a big difference? It is 140x7 to 130x7 does it sound as close as it seems? Speakers are JBL Studio Series. Also like to watch movies in Dolby and my Denon 1082 which is 110x6 seems to run a little quiet on the center channel. Please give me your thoughts if you have time. Thank You.

I put a video on here about this junk.... it's 30 watts. For some reason they removed the video

I'm Not Real Sure. I found something on line that says 400 watts peak power and 300 watts maximum output power. I'm not real electronic minded I still think they sound great after having them awhile. just remember they are huge and the little booklet that comes with them recommends placing them another foot from the wall so these big bi-otches can breathe. sometimes I wish the highs would be little louder. A guy I work with keeps telling me I should have went with some klipsh speakers but he's also a hatin' a hole. Hope that helped. I still love them. I listen to everything from country to dub step and everything in between and haven't stumped them yet. I'm Not Real Sure.

I don't think that's a good idea because if you want a louder sound wouldn't you get a speaker with more watts...you can amplify sound but if the speaker dosen't have enough watts it wont ever sound clear or loud enough....just my opinion

Hi! The description said that there is 100W so I do not know why the information behind the subwoofer inscribed 45W ? what is the 45W imply here ? Please help!

sounds like fully distorted 1 watt, sound, or about 60-75 dB A level with soundmeter about 1 meter away.. it is loud enough for small group...in a room. you can reduce level of built in distortion, by going lower in vol.

I personally think it's fantastic. Now keep in mind I'm not an audiophile.....but I've listened to it at fairly loud levels and have never heard any distortion. This is, of course, as long as it's plugged in. If you're planning on listening to it with the battery the volume levels go significantly down. I'd say they are ok if you're wanting some background music in a small area but if you're looking to use the speaker as the primary source of attention or in a large area you're definitely going to want it plugged in.

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.

Well, it's about 850 watts underpowered. I use it for calling trivia and I average 50-60 people per game. It's well-suited for that although on extra busy nights I am pushing it a bit. As it happens, I also own some Behringer powered speakers and for the money they cannot be beat. MUCH better suited to your application. The PYLE stuff is better than nothing, but the sound matches the quality, which ain't much.

That's chillin'. I'm running mine at 420watts at 2ohm. There is a general consensus that powering any speaker at 80% will ensure longevity and durability.

I think the sub system is 200watts. I have not tried the others. This one sounds really good and the sub is not huge if space is an issue.

Don't listen to these overrated "you need at least 100W". These are very efficient speakers at 93db/W, and they don't need that much power (which is the point of efficient speakers) - at 22W @ 93db efficicency produces about same amount of sound as 60W at 88db efficiency (most people don't even look at efficiency values). They were plenty loud in my miata with a 22WRMS/ch head unit. I've also had kappas in a different vehicle with 50Wrmsx4 amp. They'll benefit from more power (not so much volume, but clearness when cranked), but not as much as other's are trying to make you believe. Don't listen to these overrated "you need at least 100W".

I saw 1000 too and that's what i was hoping for. I really don't know but it sounds like it may 500w per side. It sounds good with really deep base, which I like. Although, I do wish it was louder. I use it for outdoor tailgating, so it's a tougher setting as it's competing with everyone else's music. If using indoors it packs plenty of punch. Decent deal for the price. Overall, I'm satisfied.
