i know theres the maximum continious number then there is a peak. what does this all mean? and are higher wattage particulary better or no?

Higher wattage doesn't mean they are better. Also I don't believe in the wattage range. You can have a 50wpc amp blow speakers that are rated for 200wpc continious. Also most speakers can handle much more power than they say. This is because they clip. Here are some examples: father has forte's. 100watt continious and 500peak. He is using a forte 250wpc amp 500wpc in 4ohms. He pushes all 250 into them and they sound perfect and have never had any problems. I have a 400wpc amps with my RF-3II. I don't put 400 through them but have gone way over 150. Plus both of these have peaks why over these. As long as you are using good clean power then I wouldn't worry about. Like I said these meanings don't mean a whole lot to me.
