Speaker RMS rating

I have a 30-watt Peavy Classic - do I need to get a replacement speaker with a rating of 30 watts or more?

This is my week to learn about speakers.

yes you need a HP rated at 30w or more. if you put a HP with less than 30w capability, it will be damaged when using your amp at higher volumes.

For audiophil, the rules is the double for a 30 W, 60 is OK.

The way is between 30 and 60 Watts. this depend your amps spec ... The first marshall had the same "power" , your capacity to exploit these power. For a 30 watts it's not a problem.

, and finally if you have tube amps, those have'nt the same reaction...

But don't take care, take off the actual speaker, read what is wrote, and take the same power

The simpliest way is always the best.
