I have 2 Home speakers with the specs on the back stating:
400 Watts
8 Ohms
91 DB (1W/1M)
I need to buy an an amplifier/receiver, but I want to make sure I get the right one. I heard on here that any amp/receiver should be ok for the two speakers. However I just went into a stereo store, and the guy said you dont want to run anything lower wattage on these speakers (ie 100 watts per channel) as this will cause distortion and ruin the speakers. What he suggested cost 2500.00 which is 2 receivers, and thats way out of my budget! Not sure if he was just tryin to sell me more than I need. The Denmark speakers were worth 3500.00 for the two of them 5 years ago, and I wouldn't want to ruin them.
I dont want to upgrade to surround sound, the speakers I have are good enough. Can anyone tell me where I can find a receiver for 200 true watts per channel or higher. I only need two channels. And if running these speakers on anything under 400 watts per channel will cause distortion and ruin them.
thanks
