Amplification Warning

The largest Silver: 90.5 dB at 2.83 V, three ohms of dip below the nominal at 150 Hz, and a recommended amplifier window of 80-250 W. The high sensitivity and the low minimum pull in opposite directions - the speaker needs little voltage and a lot of current, which is the combination that embarrasses small class-D amplifiers rather than low-powered class-AB ones.
