Focer Font of knowledge speaker power RMS and stuff

[fazersharp]

The important question is what is driving the new system? What is the output of your system (amplifier/hifi etc).

Upgrading 5W speakers with 10W speakers is not beneficial if your system is only outputting 5W. Ideally you want the RMS speaker power paired to the output of your device to get a reasonable performance without spending too much money.

Thanks for the help. This is the system I am looking at getting, https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/audio-and-...lsrc=aw.ds

  so not the hi end of sound. It is only for the kitchen and it is sort of buried in the wall which is why it needs to be that sort of size to replace the kaput one. Its a pantry that has its wall in the kitchen so it sits on a pantry shelf with its "face" flush to the kitchen wall giving the impression of a panel sound system (at least until you go for a tin of beans ) and open the door.

So is it ok to use lower power speakers with a higher power unit.
