It incorporates two powerful 6.
> PRINT GUIDES AMPLIFICATION The CS265 is designed to be used with professional power amplifiers capable of producing 100-200W per channel into 4 ohms: Care should be taken to avoid amplifier clipping. It is important to understand that a low power amplifier driven into clipping is more likely to damage a loudspeaker than a higher power amplifier used within its ratings. This is because music signals have a high peak-to-average "crest" factor.

> PRINT GUIDES When the systems are connected in this way, it provides the best match of sensitivity and power handling between the CS265 and C115 or C516 satellites, whilst maintaining a nominal overall impedance above 4 ohms. The configuration 1 x CS265 with 2 x C516 is not advisable unless the amplifier is capable of 2 ohm operation. When phase checking a system, there should be a positive output from the rectangular port of the CS265 and a negative output from the triangular ports.
