Underhanded Penguin Posted September 14, 2001 Share Posted September 14, 2001 Hi admins. My RB-3 manual says that the power handling is 150 watts maximum continuous and it says "max input pwr: 150 watts" on the back of my speaker. But the specs on your site says 100 watts maximum continuous. Which is it? And if it is 100 watts , then does it mean that I cannot use a a receiver that has 150 watts per channel? Please clarify. THX in advance. ------------------ I love you Aki Ross! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oogins Posted September 14, 2001 Share Posted September 14, 2001 They had that problem with the RF-3s. In the manual it states the max power is 225 watts while the specs on this site say it's 150 watts. I'm guessing the manual is wrong again, so the RB-3s are most likely 100 watts. ------------------ -Paul AMD T-Bird 900 Asus A7V Micron 256 MB PC-133 IBM 30 GB 7200 rpm ATA 100 Pioneer DVD-105 Slot-Load (16X/40X) 3Dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP NEC MultiSync M700 17" (soon to be Sony G420S 19") SB Live!

Underhanded Penguin Posted September 15, 2001 Author Share Posted September 15, 2001 If the speakers are rated at 100 watts maximum continuous, does this mean that I cannot use a receiver that has over 100wpc? I asked the dealer this same question, and he said I could use a receiver with over 100 wpc. (not that I have a receiver like that right now, but for upgrading in the future, it's good to know) Any help would be appreciated. -UP ------------------ I love you Aki Ross!

DwK Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 RB-3 POWER HANDLING: 100 watts maximum continuous (400 watts peak) You can put up to 100 watts into the RB-3's with out hurting them. Any thing over is pushing it. 400 is where it will want to...... do bad things. As long as you use a good clean amp, you could push 150 - 200 watts. But who the hell needs that much power for a pair of Klipsch? What are you running them with at the moment? ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
