I agree, you can use the specs to narrow the choices. Five (or more) identical speakers would be the ideal for surround, but is isn't usually a practical solution. Two speakers is enough for me too!.
Matching components to Speakers??
Hello,
Can anybody enlighten me as to how you go about matching your amps to speakers. I am putting together a home theater and am considering a 200 Watt 7 channel Amplifier. I am wondering when purchasing speakers how do you determine the power handeling capabilities. Front and centers seem to make sense and have the power ratings but if you pack 200 watts into a surround speaker that has a rating of 100-150Watts, as in many of the surround speakers I've seen, do you have problems??? Thanks for any input.
