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.)

A: @Gary, I spoke with Chet at Def Tech customer service....real nice guy. Told me that all of the speakers in the BP9000 line will have this popping noise when the subs first turn on. Essentially he said it was "normal" and would not affect the longevity of the speakers. He also said that replacing the amps would not help. If you're within your return period, and don't like the popping noise at startup, return them. I've tried everything to help with the noise but nope, still present. I love how the speakers sound and will be keeping them though. -Mo
A: Either the amplifier in the subwoofer is gone or make sure you check the back of the speaker. There is a button to turn on and off the lit up logo.
A: i believe its the built in amplifier shutting down. the d light on the bottom of the speaker on the front will be lit and watch it. if you hear the thump and the light goes out then that's what most likely it is.
Q: what gauge speaker wire is recommended for these speakers?
A: I'm using 16 gauge. Great speakers have full setup of center ,front & back .Recommend to wait for a sale price !
Q: We have the Onkyo TX-NR696 AV receiver, is it enough to power the BP9040?
A: I looked up your specs. You have 100 watts per channel. My Yamaha has 90 and it brings the house down. You will have no problem. I also have the center channel speaker and added a subwoofer.
A: Great system that you are building. Correct, floor standing speakers with built in subs will not be necessary if you already own 2 Super Cubes. Consider the DT D15 Passive floor standing speakers. Not exactly saving money, but the D15 speakers are absolutely amazing. Also consider the D11 Bookshelf speakers. This option will save money and sound terrific. Speaker stands sold separately.
A: Have you turned up built in subwoofers, there’s a good chance you don’t need a Svs. Unless yo want major base, on that note SB3000.
Q: Are these sold as a pair or an individual tower speaker?
A: Individual
