Power means little to me.
Its the speaker system and match to the amp.
Ideal speakers should be around 60-70% of rms output of amp.
I was running a pair of 7 way bookshelf on my avr HK 5000 and they sounded horrid, hooked them up to an old HITACHI HA1 in the workshop and wow, they blow the roof off at 50% with tone to die for.
Dont need surrounds, not interested.
I love the tone/power of stereo units with integrated modules.
Put the control 1's on the hk in the lounge with ar teledyne 137's and it came to life as well.
I replaced the main drivers with a pair of speakers from an electric guitar 60 watt rms amp, the teledyne boxes were gifted to me.
The guitar speakers work as 2 way as they are ribbed and flat cone.
Flipping amazing what one can do!
