We estimate the mass density fluctuations power spectrum (PS) on large scales by applying a maximum likelihood technique to the peculiarvelocity data of the recently completed redshift-distance survey of early-type galaxies (ENEAR). The general results are in agreement with the high amplitude power spectra found from similar analysis of other independent all-sky catalogs of peculiar velocity data such as MARK III and SFI. For Lambda & Open CDM COBE normalized PS models, the best-fit parameters are confined by a contour approximately defined by Omega h^{1.3}=0.377+-0.08 and Omega h^{0.88}=0.517+-0.083, respectively. Gamma-shape models, free of COBE normalization, resultsin the weak constraint of $\Gamma \geq 0.17$ and in the rather stringent constraint of sigma_8 Omega^{0.6}=1.0+-0.25. All quoted uncertainties refer to 3-sigma confidence-level. The calculated PS is used as a prior for Wiener reconstruction of the density field at different resolutions and the three-dimensional velocity field within a volume of radius ~80 Mpc/h. All major structures in the nearby universe are recovered and are well matched to those predicted from all-sky redshift surveys.
