is the arc 100 mk111 enough to power these boats. also are the speakers too much for a general living/listening room that is 18ft by 25ft by 8ft high. thanks gary
its hard to believe extremas are so inefficient. does anybody know the sensitivity db.? and why do some people claim they can power them with 30watt set amps? thanks gary
I agree with Jrd351. If you want you can drive them with a 50 wpc integrated and they will sound good, but if you really want to hear how good the Extremas are, then high power is the only way to go. They have a relatively small internal volume, smallish drivers and they can do deep bass. Any box speaker with this combo will require gobs of power.
Eldo, what people claim you can power them with 30watt set amps? That is impossible. There is no chance in history the Extremas can sound good on such lower powered amps.
doug99- i saw it on audioasylum(SET asylum)regarding a so called 211 amp. guy claims his friend drives the extremas with 27w/channel do to A2 class driving
