i need front stage, running off a 75W each, I would go with RSD, but they need more power, so what else is good?
They're 60 watt speakers. 75 wrms should be fine unless he plans to listen to them at extremely high volume levels. If that's the case, then he might want more power to prevent amp clipping and to provide more headroom.Based on the numerous reviews, midbass might be a concern though, imo. Based off of that, I wouldn't recommend anything less than 2x120w rms.
The manufacturer usually lists rms in 2 ways: 1.) full range, or 2.) a conservative fail-safe when a HPF is used. Just as much as max watts is a useless rating, so is rms imo. I see it as merely a baseline.They're 60 watt speakers. 75 wrms should be fine unless he plans to listen to them at extremely high volume levels.

I agree 100%, but I've rarely ever seen speakers that actually REQUIRE 2 to 3 times their RMS rating in order to sound good. MOST speakers sound just fine feeding them anywhere from their RMS rating, to 1.5 times that rating.The manufacturer usually lists rms in 2 ways: 1.) full range, or 2.) a conservative fail-safe when a HPF is used.

And I agree with you 100% here, but there are always exceptions to that rule of thumb. One being the RSd comps when trying to get the midbass potential out of them.I agree 100%, but I've rarely ever seen speakers that actually REQUIRE 2 to 3 times their RMS rating in order to sound good.
