Wattage ratings for speakers just tells you what they'll stand. You'll
probably be hard pressed to find any half decent hifi speakers with a
rating of less than 80W. I currently have a 40W amp and I believe the
speakers are rated at 100W. Sensitivity has an effect on the sound

I'm looking at 2 different pairs, they don't give RMS but rather short/long
term effect, the cheaper is 2 way bass reflex 200W short/100W long, the
other pair is 3 way bass reflex, 300W short 150W long. (I was thinking one
pair of each, the bigger oines for the living room and the smaller ones for
the computer/sleeping room). You think my oldie reciever could handle that.
As I won't be able to push them by far, might I not get the best sound out
of them?

level you get out, and impedence AFAIK has an effect on the amp, but
my electronics isn't up to much . Speaker cables are much of a

From what someone said in this group the Reciever I ahve is pretty
flexible/good when it comes to the impedance

muchness IMO, I've never noticed any difference. Just pick up some
fairly cheap stuff. £1 a meter should be plenty to get you some
decent cable.

Wasn't planning on going fancy on the cable, just wondered about the
different thicknesses, if something was better suited for the situation.

Thanks!
