I'm not sure off the top of my head, Tymphany's website doesn't even list it.

However, I used to own a set of of the large format version of these, and I had about 80 watts RMS per driver, and they took em just fine.

I run those tweets with around 30watts per side and it seems fine. Also needed an EQ boost at 12.5kHz to liven them up a little. Very nice sounding tweeter IMO...

don't worry about pwer handling, just watch your gain. But i have heard ppl throwing a hundred at it. That's hearsay tho...

looks like the same with maybe more juice. i'd say 50-70 would be fine

One more question. Is it safe to run these down to 2.5? I like the way it sounds but I have it set at 3.2hz.

With a 24dB slope and maybe a little less power you'd be fine. I run mine at 3.15kHz and mids are high passed at 2.5kHz and it sounds fine being underlapped...
