How to correctly match power amplifiers and passive loudspeakers

Since posting my video on connecting power amplifiers to passive loudspeakers in April, I have received these questions over and over again:

1. I have an existing set of speakers, what power amplifier should I buy?
2. I have an existing power amplifier, what speakers should I buy?
3. Will using an amplifier that is 'too small' for my loudspeaker damage something?

This video attempts to answer all three of those questions, using real-world examples of power amplifiers and speakers meant for use in sound reinforcement.

00:00 Intro
00:56 I have an existing set of speakers, which power amplifier should I buy?
13:41 I have an existing power amplifier, what speakers should I buy?
16:20 My power amplifier is 'too small' for my loudspeaker - will I damage something?

Ways to get in touch - I love hearing from my viewers!

I cannot even begin to describe, how useful your videos are, thank you so very much, good sir!

This video makes more sense then any of the manufacturer’s own information. The manufacturer websites don’t even explain this topic to such a high degree. More amplifiers and speakers will be saved from an untimely death thanks to this video!
