Enough power?

Hello, new to the forum. I recently bought a pair of SDA SRS 3.1TL's and love the sound. I'm using a Sansui G7500 receiver to power them and they actually sound really good! I just ordered the connect cable to see how that sounds but my question is, am I giving them enough power? The Sansui is rated at 95 watts7df0qg37jrak.jpg

a channel, and like I said earlier, they sound fantastic but am I running the risk of damaging my receiver? Thanks for any comments.

    They will perform better with a higher quality integrated or separate pre-amp/power amp.

    Do not toe in your speakers and they should be 3 feet away from any side wall.

    The outer drivers don't even play-back without the SDA cable...right?

    The single SDA driver (outer) will produce frequencies below 100Hz without the SDA cable connected.

    Oh...so like a sub...of sorts :D Thanks for the info!

    Point is to the OP: you won't get the full SDA impact until you get that cable. You might want to get your read on with Polk SDA technology. Welcome to the club!
