"I have a receiver Denon E400 that has 175W per channel, worked well with these speakers?

I have a similar receiver and they work great for the money. I do not crank it up so my neighbors down the block can hear it, but my next door neighbors have mentioned it... Set the crossover on your amp so your sub will take most of your bass (80 - 100hz) and you will be fine. I have been using them for over a year now with zero complaints.

I use pioneer SC1323 at 160watts per channel, you should look for something with a bi-amp. You can also use another amplifier with the pre-out inputs on the receiver. I would recommend pioneer. All receivers push between 100 to the 160 watts I use. These speakers can handle 400peak RMS. This doesn't mean they are using the peak RMS rating all the time. So you want to match these with the max RMS rating for 8ohm speakers. You want to Amazon can also walk you through setup when you get your receiver from their fulfillment center. They offer free support. But you should talk to someone who does home audio equipment setup for the rest. I use pioneer SC1323 at 160watts per channel, you should look for something with a bi-amp.

I only have a 50 watt per channel and my speakers blast.I would be careful will the volume knob

Yes, they certainly will work. For the price these are well worth the cost. I will be using these on my 1969 sansui receiver 30 watts per channel. I have tried them on my newer receiver a technics with 75 watts per channnel and they work nice. I am going to add some polyfill acoustical materiel to dampen them a little but thats just me because I am always trying to improve things and not just speakers. They are not $1,000.00 speakers but for me they are just right. If you read reviews they will drive you crazy, everybody has their opinions, some are just too critical but I say the sound on these are very good for the price. I hope this helps a little.John D Yes, they certainly will work. For the price these are well worth the cost. I will be using these on my 1969 sansui receiver 30 watts per channel.

Since these are mid-size speakers, they really don't require a lot of power to sound great. Even 50W per channel for two channels is plenty. I'd shop around and decide based on what else you'll be using a receiver for, such as video. If audio is all you want/need then finding an amp should be a cinch. Onkyo, Pioneer and Harman Kardon would all be great choices for these speakers, it will just come down to personal taste and preference, as well as price considerations. Hope that helps and good luck!

Yes, you could use these on a 2 channel receiver. I have a Onkyo 7.1 receiver 5 series and I am amazed by the sound of these speakers. I plan to upgrade to a Denon or another Onkyo to get more power out the speakers.I would say at least 100 watts per channel I am only at 85 watts per channel.

I use a Marantz MM7055 140 watt per channel Amp for these speakers and I think they rock. I can't imagine needing hundreds of watts per channel. If they sound so good with 300 watts per channel hooked up to them, I sure would like to hear it.

Yes they should work just fine! Mine are hooked up to a 110w/channel 7:1 surround receiver. Placement of the speakers are critical in getting the results so keep that in mind. Check the instructions for speaker placement on your receiver. Mine were hung and angled down to the listening area. Hope this helps.

Actually I am using these speakers with a vintage 30 year old Pioneer receiver which exceeds the sound quality (based on my experience) of any modern receiver such as Dennon, Onkyo or Sony. Wattage is deceiving and is based on there tests which may not be accurate. Go to a stereo store and listen to several units. Manyvif the bells and whistles on expensive units are never used. You may be surprised that a $150.00 35 Watt Onkyo may sound and perform better than a $300.00 100 Watt Dennon or other brand.

I have a Yamaha with 120 watts per channel. That seems like plenty of power.I don't know if I'd use less than 80. Good speakers for the money

I have a peavy amp 130watt per channel totals of 260watt for both channels, will my amps able to crank up these speakers?

I have not a clue, any respectable amplifier with 20 watts RMS from 20-20KHz should do it. I use an Yamaha RX-V573, 70 watts @ 20-20K, 110 @ 1Khz (big whoop). The point is I never need a whole lot of power, read the specs, 96 db 1 Watt/1 meter, pretty efficient, up there in Klipsch RF territory and they sound better than Klipsch RF-62's. If you have a clean old two channel receiver with 50 watts x2 channels, it should be plenty for a good sized room. My listening room is 20' x 11' and along with the F12 these guys always sound great.

They sound amazing. We are using them for some music recording. Before we got a dedicated amp for them, I used an old Pioneer receiver that we had to power them. They worked fine w/ it. I'm sure your Denon won't have a problem.

Hi Willy well I` am only running Four 6.5 3way Pioneer 50 watts speakers. This is enough for my system. You might need something a little more powerful.

They will work with any receiver/amp, as to how well, you will need to match up specifications. You have given no information about your receiver so at this point you are the only one who knows. You must compare numbers, it never hurts to have some more power than is recommended. Common sense still applies in operation and usage of said power. Aside from all that, these are amazing speakers for their price. Enjoy.

Not sure of the specification of your vintage receiver. But these speakers works with my 6 ohm output (sort of vintage as it is 15 years old now) 120 Watts per channel amplifier even if the impedance of these speakers is 8 ohms. In a nut shell if your vintage receiver is producing anywhere between 40 Watts to 120 watts , I THINK these speakers would please you. Worth a try but no guarantees.

The Denon model you are looking at should work OK (based on its power output). I use my JBLs with an ONKYO 7.2 model with listed output 130 Watt with very good results. The Denon AVR model may be even closer to the speakers nominal power (I think it is about 170 watts). Normally, I would not recommend an amplifier of higher wattage than the speakers, because this would result in humming at very high volumes.
