What amplifier do I need to power my Cerwin-Vega speakers?
Cerwin-Vega recommends using a quality brand name amplifier/receiver. The RMS power rating of the amplifier should be as close as possible to, but not exceed, the power rating of the speaker. By using as powerful an amp as safely possible, the risk of driving the amplifier into clipping is reduced, thereby ensuring that the speakers will receive clean undistorted power. Simply stated: clean power – GOOD, distorted power – BAD.
