T50 continous power handling??

I don't seem to be able to find the continuous power handling, only max which really is a useless number in general.

Welcome to the forum!

A lot of times, the continuous is about half of the max. Maximum assumes only brief peaks of music or sound.

Either way, neither number is truly a set in stone number.
Just try to have enough clean watts that it will easily play at levels you need and a bit more.
Clipping hurts speakers more than just "Too many" watts.
Found a review of them:

Just remember, with one 6.5" woofer, there is only so much they can take.

What size room and what kinda listening levels do you normally use?

Thanks. I guess I'm just curious why the lack of what used to be the import spec for speakers. Even the article you posted I didn't see continuous power handling. Understood about the clean power.

Your ears will let you know. When it starts sounding a little shrill and the stage collapses you've gone too far a while ago.
