Considering Wharfedale 315 15 inch Actives?

[Totally Plucked]

Been looking around the net and there seem to be some really good deals on the Wharfedale Titan 15A (315), however I have some concerns as I have seen this speaker been given some very conflicting figures in terms of power output. I believe it's 200 watt RMS (Which seems really low?). Other ratings state 350 watt & 420 watt.

These are available now for about £380 a pair delivered. Any views please? Thanks as always :)

The 420w was the old Titans 15a. I started out with a pair and they did we well for 3 years. Really grew to love their powerful warm sound. When Wharfedale upgraded to the 15d (digital) they reduced the power on the old a (analogue) so they could sell them cheaper and they did not compete with the more expensive and still 420w and new D (digital).

Personally, I think 200w is a bit underpowered for a 15 inch speaker. The original 15a went to 129 db as a SPL

Thanks for your reply, I agree and this relates to my original concern regarding 200 watt RMS, however more food for thought would be a pretty decent SPL.
As most of use know a 200 watt speaker with a higher spl can sound significantly louder than a higher rated RMS speaker and a lower SPL. :)
