While it can handle full-range audio, the ceiling placement means low bass will be less impactful than a floorstanding or bookshelf pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: What type of amplifier power should I aim for?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn amp in the range of 20-120 W RMS per channel is recommended.
