I prefer to rattle windows and not break them. My old ass Pioneer SX1250 pushes these speakers just fine. I only go up to 12 O'Clock on the dial and it's so loud my office windows rattle. What more is needed here? I don't turn it all the way up because this power is not necessary.Where does this clipping come in? When you're amp is maxed!
Everone assumes that they are gonna max the volume on their amp my question would be why would you want to do that because true 50 watts of power is quite loud. I don't mind the neighbor's across the street listening to my system but people down the block got nothing coming.
If you're intent is to max the volume on you're amp all the time then it is wise to get a more powerful amp but if you are gonna run it say around 12 o'clock like I do then what you have is quite sufficent.
After all who listen's to their stuff at full throttle?
