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.)

I recommend these they have a nice sound and they’
Very happy with them they sound nice. They got a full spectrum. Nice little bump in the low end. At $200 they’re a little pricey, but I’m very happy with them

Best outdoor speakers
I had bought A pair years ago for my old house. When I moved I just had to take them with me and replace with less expensive klipsh for the buyers. I tried them out for the few weeks before I moved and did not even come close to the quality of the b&w. I now installed these in my new home and bought another pair of the same so they all match and have equal sound distribution. I have 4 of these now hooked up to a Sonos amp and they sound amazing. FYI the Sonos amp is 250w total so these speakers are getting 62.5 watts each and are way louder then you would need. Unless you don’t like your neighbors. The speaker says 100 watts peak power . No way do you need that much power . I keep these speakers with the volume way lower then they can handle right now as it is. But they have plenty of room for more .

Best outdoor speakers bar none
Best outdoor speakers I've heard. Was shopping around to replace some older Boston Acoustics speakers for my patio. I made a short list and listened to as many as I could in stores. None came close to the B&W. Night and day difference over my previous speakers. The clarity and fullness of the sound is unrivaled by any other outdoor speaker I've heard. Bass is more than adequate, although bassheads have other options to look into with some significant tradeoffs
