Help on the Crown XLS Drive Core Series

Yeah I'm noticing on the pro side you have plenty of options that put out huge power even into 8ohm loads I'm noticing not so much on the home av side if that article is correct and you really should be doubling your power I was wondering why that is?

Are monoprice ATI Emotiva outlaw etc etc actually underpowering speakers that handle 200 RMS into 8 ohm loads? Or is there more to this then I understand get? More then meets the eye?

Just curious is all. Trying to understand the info you guys linked me better

I see, I thought that by word "commercial" you meant pro, but actually, you meant to say, consumer

Unlikely. Big, insensitive, many-driver speakers in a very large room may require hundreds of watts on peaks when playing well-recorded material with a wide dynamic range, but most speaker systems in more common residential rooms seldom require more than a couple of watts for an average listening level in the 80db range. Peaks that are 20db higher than that might require 200 watts for some number of milliseconds, but I'm a skeptic even about that.

Yeah sorry about that still getting my terms right

Ok I get it so what I'm understanding is since most speakers like you said in the home setting are pretty efficient and can get to correct levels at say 80 to 100 watts really your doubling it anyway with the way home amplifiers are now

They don't do it because in real world situations at home it's not needed. Plus they are stable and increase there power into 4ohm loads so you will have all they dynamic range that you'll need like you said in most home situations. Okay thanks that makes sense and smart on there part as well and saves us money and space because crazy amps like that would not be cheap or easy to have around
