Sensitivity
Bookshelf Speakers
Nominal Impedance of 4 Ohms means that the Buchardt P300 is a difficult to drive speaker from nominal Impedance perspective, make sure that you choose an amplifier than can provide 4 Ohms for this speaker.
Many AVRs (audio/video receiver) in the market may have difficulty when the speakers dip below the 4 Ohms levels (this may cause clipping or even physical damage), so we recommend to not pair the Buchardt P300 with an AVR but use an Integrated Amplifier instead.

With a sensitivity level of only 86 dB, Buchardt P300 is a difficult to drive speaker from Sensitivity perspective, make sure to choose an amplifier with high output if you like listening your music at high volume levels. You may especially have hard time using Tube amplifiers which are traditionally very low power compared to Class A/B or Class D speakers.
