You should use an amplifier that whose broadband r.m.s. power rating is equal to twice the stated r.m.s. power handling of the loudspeaker at its nominal impedance. For example the power handling of the TSW-718 is 800 watts r.m.s., and the nominal impedance is 4 ohms. Therefore you should use a good quality power amplifier capable of delivering 1600 watts per channel into a 4 ohm load.
