High power handling speakers

so you want high SPL's not necesarrily high power handling, correct?

In that Case the JBL's mentioned above are great, so are Klipschhorns, Klipsch Belles, and I would also highly recommend Definitive Technology Super Towers BP7000 SC's. Great speakers all.

A friend has his home theater in his two car garage. Using an HK receiver he powers Klipsch Cornwalls 20 feet away which cost him $600. A pair of subs behind his listening position provide the growl, and two sets of inexpensive surround speakers provide the ambiance. His setup actually sounds a real theater . In short - quality horns in a large room. Not high end audio, but high end PA system is the sound of a real theater!

GedLee Nathan 10 for $1100/speaker? new.

95dB/1W/1 meter. The pro-sound woofer will take 350W of pink noise with a 6dB crest factor and is rated for 700W on music. The compression driver will be fine at those output levels.

Sub-woofers are required. A shelving low-pass filter will help if you don't load them into half space.

Thanks for all your repsonses.

How about an older pair of b&w 801s? Always cool looking!
