Q: QuestionCan these speakers be paint to match my home color?

Asked 4 years ago by jb.

• A:Answer 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: QuestionWhat type of amp would you need to power the B&W speakers?

Asked 5 years ago by Amplifier.

• A:Answer 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.

  I would recommend:

  • 

    SVS - Prime 300W 2.0-Ch. Bluetooth Capable A/V Home Theater Receiver - Black

    User rating, 4.75 out of 5 stars with 8 reviews.
