Forget my tag line. I don't customize it per post.
My point is that the power even split point for 'normal' music is about 350hz. Power needed falls OFf as a percentage of total BELOW and ABOVE that point. I'd say, however, in NO CASE to have less than maybe 20% of power in the bass end, regardless of crossover.
My panels cross at 600hz. And low-cut about 60hz. So, I don't feel TOO BAD having 2x200 per panel. ONE stereo amp per speaker. My Parasound A23 do well. And since I never redline it, I have NO idea which amp would give up first, the HF side or the LF side. The sub is another 250 or so and crosses about 45hz and is in no danger of running out of power.
Gain match of amps is very important with 2 different amps per speaker. I'd be tempted to work out a DLP solution which can make up for such differences.
Too much is never enough
