RECOMMENDED RECEIVER/AMPLIFIER POWER TO USE WITH KLIPSCH CP SPEAKERS
A speaker can be damaged just as easily with too little power as
with too much power. A general rule is when you raise the volume
level on a receiver/amplifier past the "one half" (or "12 o'clock"
position with a marked volume knob), that receiver/amplifier is now
starting to work beyond its capabilities, sending harmful distortion
that can damage any speaker, no matter how many watts that
speaker is rated to accept. This is true for any speaker and receiver/
amplifier combination. The recommended wattage to use on your
new Klipsch CP speaker depends on which one you have you have:
HOOKING SPEAKERS UP TO AN AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER
When connecting speakers to an amplifier/receiver, always
make sure speaker polarity is correct and the best sound is
obtained by connecting amp/receiver positive (+) to speaker
positive (+) and amp/receiver negative (-) to speaker negative
(-). The CP speaker terminals are designed to accept up to 16
gauge wire.
One pair of Klipsch CP Series speakers, 8 Ohms, can connect to
the left/right speaker terminals of any 8 Ohm rated amplifier/
receiver as shown:
CP-4: up to 50 watts continuous (for an extended period of time);
200 watt "peaks" (very short bursts/surges)
CP-6: up to 75 watts continuous (for an extended period of time);
300 watt "peaks" (very short bursts/surges)
