- Peak Power Handling: 100 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. 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.)

- Minimum Frequency Response: 51 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. 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.)
- Maximum Frequency Response: 22 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones.

- Owner's manual
Q: Can these be used indoors for surround sound and as atmos speakers?
A: These are intended for indoor and outdoor use, so you could use them as surround speakers in an Atmos system.
Q: Can these speakers be paint to match my home color?
A: No they are not paintable, we asked before purchase and it doesn't state on description that they can be painted like some other speakers. We purchased white for a light beige wallpaper, looks ok, I wish they were paintable.
Q: What type of amp would you need to power the B&W speakers?
A: In my experience, you will need an amplifier with at least 80-120w of RMS (Continuous) power per channel at an 8Ω impedance rating to get the most out of these speakers. Your speakers need to have adequate power to realize their advertised potential. Just remember if you add two of these 8Ω speakers to one channel the resistance will change to 4Ω. So if you find a two-channel amp make sure it's 4Ω stable if you plan on using 2 speakers per channel.
A: Sorry, no idea, my husband installed them, they are hanging on the wall not inside. He just used the speaker wire we had with our floor speakers.
