Since Craig is too busy to give numbers, I'll start the math show. Sitting 10 feet away, with 1000-2 powering the woofers and 1000-8 powering all else, I'm getting 116dBC peaks. That was with my Pioneer cranked to the limit. This was straight 2.0.

I wasn't hanging around for that one so I can't tell you if it sounded clean or not but the whole house was ablaze. I also can't tell you if any of the ADA channels shut down. To say the bass was palpable is a big under-statement.

The bottom line from all this is the 1000 appears to be more than capable of powering these in my 4200 cuft space.

I just did a quick calc based on the published sensitivity of the actives. That 116dBC figure represented about 800 peak Watts per side. So according to the specs for the actives, they've got 3600 more Watts to go before they compress. Ears and brains will fry long before that. LOL!
