Answer» I was looking to get a sound bar, and was looking between the Dell™ AC511 and the Dell™ AX510PA... I ALWAYS thought that usb powered speakers were not as powerful as AC powered speakers, I might be wrong...
Thoughts?AC powered speakers have approximately 1500 Watts of power available while USB can produce MAYBE 50 Watts at max so AC powered speakers can certainly be more powerful than USB speakers. However, it also depends on the design of the amplifier and the efficiency of the speakers as to which system will be "louder" or even better sounding. It's quite possible to design a USB speaker system that sounds much better than a poorly DESIGNED AC powered one. I know the AC powered speakers put out 10 watts of RMS (max) power but I don't THINK that they list RMS for the usb variant
