And it takes a great amp to deliver it into tough loads. My old DR-9 is rated at 400 watts into 2 ohms, but it's build like an arc welder. I totally agree with mgv on amps. A typical 100 watt amp might only produce 150 or so at 4 ohms and isn't happy at all below that.
Of course, specs lie. My DR-9 was rated at 100 watts, but was said to measure more like 150 watts. No one said differently on their 2 ohm spec.
