> 1.0 W (RMS) per speaker.
ARGHHHHHHH one of my pet hates, it's MEAN POWER not RMS. Actually what is
usually meant is "continuous sine wave average power", so you pump out the
loudest sine wave you can, and measure the *MEAN* power (which is RMS
voltage * RMS current). That's the figure you put on the speaker.

You try talking about Volt amps in a shop and I wish you well :)

More so you can put it next to your CRT monitor and not magnetise it...

Hehe no way :-) It took me until I was at my power electronics course in
1st year University before I finally found out why things had power written
on them in VA rather than W. I don't expect the person selling me speakers
in a shop to have done an Engineering degree.

Trying to explain to me how Volt Amps is different from Watts would
probably be a bigger challenge. :-P

Some of the stories can be a bit crude, but you get the odd gem.

What's a CRT monitor? Seriously, haven't seen one of them for years now.

Volt amps takes into account the phase difference between the volts
and the current. As you know then you pass an ac current through a
capacitor or an inductor there is a phase difference. Volt amps is V *
cos(phase) *A.
Simple, What?
