This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)

The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)

The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)

A: Hi MichaelZ, The rating of 25 watts refers to the recommended minimum wattage rating of an amplifier to be used with these speakers. While your receiver may be capable of producing 145 watts per channel, it is unlikely to ever do so. The wattage amount produced by an amplifier is determined by the speaker it is partnered with, and the volume level selected by the equipment user. Most modern speakers are pulling little more than 20 watts per channel from their partnering receiver/amplifier when playing quite loud in a regular domestic setting.
A: No, should be hooked up to the surround speaker on the avr receiver. (front height) or (surround) on back of receiver.
A: Hello, the Polk Audio S55 should prove to be the better choice. S55 speakers are a more refined speaker providing a cleaner musical playback experience.
Q: What is the recommended speaker wire size for these large speakers?
A: For average speaker wire runs (5-15 ft), a 14-gauge wire will work perfectly fine. 15+ ft, consider 12-gauge wire.
Q: can i use these with a 6-8 ohm receiver
A: Yes, XT70 speakers can be used with an AV receiver outputting 6-8 ohms.
Q: Can I use these 2 Tower Speakers XT70 with Yamaha Mixer MG10XU only?
A: Hello, A mixer alone will not be able to deliver a signal powerful enough to drive passive speakers such as the XT70. For this to work, you would need an external amp to take the signal the mixer is summing via the Stereo Out then amplify it to the speakers. While this is possible to do, please note this is not an intended use for these speakers and over driving them may cause damage to the speakers.
A: No it’s priced each

Polk is the best quality for the price which is not crazy. Great sound, I had Cherwin-Vega speakers before which are top of the line but these are just as good and not as pricey.
