PORTUGEUSE
SAFE LIMITS OF OPERATION
Polk Audio specifies the recommended amplification range for each of its passive
(non-amplified) loudspeakers. Typically that specification will be expressed as a
range of power such as 20-200 Watts (per channel). It is important to understand
what those numbers mean when choosing a receiver or amplifier for your Polk
loudspeakers. The lower number indicates the lowest continuous rated power that
will yield acceptable performance in a typical listening environment. The higher
number indicates the highest per channel power that should be used with your
Polk speakers. That number should not be confused with a “Power Handling”
specification and it does not imply that the speaker will safely handle that full
amount of power on a long-term basis. We specify a wide range of power ratings
because not all electronics manufacturers use the same method for rating power.
In fact, high quality lower-rated amplifiers sound better and play louder than low
quality units with higher power rating.
Automobile horsepower is good analogy. Your car probably has far more horsepower
than it needs for your daily commute and is likely capable of going well over 120mph
(190km/hr). Having that extra power is good for on-ramp acceleration and danger
avoidance (like getting away from brain-eating zombies) but that doesn’t mean that
it is advisable to operate your car on North American highways at full power and
maximum speed for an extended period of time. Just ask your local state trooper
if you are in doubt. Similarly, we recommend using amplifiers and receivers with
rated power above the Power Handling limits of our speakers because having extra
power available for short term peaks is conducive to better sound quality, maximum
dynamic range and effortless high volume output. But we strongly urge you not to
use the full power of your amplifier or receiver for daily listening.
Loudspeakers can be damaged when an amplifier, regardless of its wattage, is made
to play at higher listening levels than its power can clearly produce. Operation at
this level can result in very high levels of audible distortion originating in the amplifier,
which can add a harsh, gritty sound to your listening material. If you hear distortion—
turn the volume down or risk damaging your speakers. You can damage just
about any speaker, regardless of power rating, if you drive an amplifier to or beyond
the point of distortion.
