SONY Power Amp question:


Sony STR DA 3000es ....
Will this Receiver be powerful enough to run Mirage M5 IS Speakers in 2 Channel only ?
Sony is 120 RMS Per Channel.

I guess that depends how loud you want to listen. They are 88dB @ 1watt, so that's 108dB at 100 watts. Since the Sony you say is 120 watts, I'm assuming that is into 8 ohms and the M5's are 6 ohms, for me, I would get more power. I think the biggest improvement would be to separate your 2 channel system from the surround system.
Yes it will run your loudspeakers but the SQ may be less than ideal (consumer grade HT receivers are not known for great SQ).
