Amazon says that this is an 80 Watt system but if you search the product on google everywhere else says it is a 350 Watt system. Which is it?

On the VM Audio website they state max power at 350 watts (peak power for a few milliseconds) and here they state 80 watts RMS (root mean square, or what would be continuous usable power). The peak power rating is typically 4-5 times the more realistic RMS rating. If the RMS rating is true, this is very high and well above what 2.75" satellites and 4" sub driver would ever require before failure. Often 5-10 watts for satellites is plenty for most people in a near field, small room/desk top situation. If these are 20-20-40 or 15-15-50 they have lots of headroom! These have me curious enough to want to try them out, I'll try to give a more complete review in a week or so.

Go for the 90 watt version. The 60 watt version gets a little warmer than I would like an adaptor to get.

Well I can see now in one of the customer images, it shows that the system is 70 watts RMS. It's too bad the picture is so small. I wonder if 70 watts RMS is the combined total RMS, or just the speakers, etc. Thanks ahead to anyone who can elaborate.

Checked the box, unit and instructions. The only wattage listed anywhere is 1875.

The owners manual is available online. For the BP-8040ST it states 20 watts to 300 watts. I am powering them with a THX Certified 200 watt HT Receiver. I never get to the 0db setting. They are very loud. They are great speakers. The wife loves the small footprint more that I like the sound. And, that's saying something.

It (was) 1300 Watts. But I would not recomend the Item anymore . It worked fine for less than one year and the little Knop on the Handle (connection) broke. then the heating element broke also.( I was told by the Company to ship it back in the Original !! box) Repair is more $$ then what i paid for. I bought a similar one (less $$ ) at an Aldis Store. And it works fine. Also 1300 Watts. Hope that helps ? good luck

I found a PDF on it and it says it's 5 watts, confusing since the cheaper AWSBTSK is also 5 watts.

I took this from their web site FAQ. "What are the voltage, amps, and wattage requirements? Warming Systems has products designed for either 120V or 240V applications. The system is designed to supply approximately 12 watts per square foot."

I hope you haven't bought this piece of junk. It doesn't matter how many watts it is. See my review (JG) from 12/31/12. I sent mine back.

It sounds like you are building something heavy-duty. The largest one I have built used a 750 watt. I found the engineering first class and the performance solid. I would buy it again. Built like a gamer, it's still running well after two years. On a smaller machine, the tickler starting circuit failed and they sent me a new PSU, postage paid. Your UPS needs to produce a full sine wave for it, is all. That's what Thermaltake told me, anyway. Good Luck.

It depends on the rest of your system but it works fine for me and I have 450 watt

I did a web search on the model number, and at a site elsewhere, it was listed as "Energy Star Compliant", and a second site (a wholesale site) listed the watts as 320.

I put a video on here about this junk.... it's 30 watts. For some reason they removed the video

75 x 2 is only 150 watts and they are 400 watts apiece. You do the math! Not!

The labelled wattage is 24 watts. It works much better than 17 watt unit it replaced. I'm about to order another one for my garage. I just wish it was 30-35 watts and had an auto-shutoff. Auto-shutoff is such an obvious requirement that I wonder why no one offers it.

Depending on how many HDD's, optical drives and cpu, a decent quality 350 watt should work fine. We've ran it in two different computers with a 500 watt antec and 550 watt antec with zero issues as far as power, a quad core and two HDD's in one pc. In fact, my system with a GTS250 only pulls 200-210 watts (total, system wide) while gaming and despite being an older video card, it does pulls a lot, so 350 should do the trick if that's all you have at the moment.

To be perfectly honest with you -- I would not worry about how many watts it is --- I would not purchase this system no matter what. It was a total waste of our money!
