I am looking at a Russound CAM/CAV6.6 solution with my homeseer and was researching speakers. The wattage output of these amplifers is only 20 watts.
That seems particularly low, all the ceiling mount speakers I am looking at (sized right for my rooms) start at 100 watts. The lowest I could find was 60 watts.
I was told that over sizing speaker wattage is really bad for the speakers, makes them work harder and can reduce their lifespan.
I must be missing something. Why is the wattage so low, but the industry home audio speakers rated at much higher wattage capacity?
