This is from audioholics.com "Any amplifiers should be able to run these speakers without a problem, but I wouldn’t run the Prime Pinnacles on entry-level AVRs. SVS claims that the Prime Pinnacles are 88dB sensitive for 1 meter at 2.83v from 300Hz to 3kHz, but I measured a 90.2dB sensitivity for that same range for 2.83v at 1 meter" These are really a 6ohm load even though they avg it out to 8 ohms which is suggesting its easier to run then it might be for your "800-1500" watt rated home theater receivers seem to rate them at even though they only pull 500 watts from the wall before they clip/distort the sound (check the back of the receiver for the power draw to know the real number). These want a good clean 150-300 watts RMS for a large room as bass frequencies are the part that uses lots of power if you don't plan to run a powered sub-woofer. So basically if the receiver doesn't have the power,then the bass will start to fall behind the mids and highs, but this is the case with any passive tower speaker.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
