I am using a Yamaha receiver that is pushing a 100 watts per channel. Will this be enough for this speaker system?

My app is also Yamaha and it's pushing 115 watts per channel (RMS) and it does a great job. You should have a Pure Direct button on your app and if so they perform very nice under this mode. Hope this helps you out. They are the bomb.com speakers... JS.. love them!

I would not, as that amp only has 30 watts/channel. The Polks are power hungry. I have my LSi 9's hooked up to a Adcom 545II amp @100 watts/channel and they sound great. However, not all 100 W/channel amps are the same, as I had my LSi9's hooked up to a 100 W/channel Sony receiver and they sounded dull. In any event, I would think a minimum of 100 watt/channel is necessary to get the best sound out of them.

Amplifiers/receivers rated at 10-200 watts/channel are recommended. I use a receiver rated at 110 watts/channel with these speakers. Remember that the speaker outputs from the receiver for all channels are connected to the bass module. The individual channel speakers are connected to the bass module and not directly to the receiver.

any amplifier producing 50-100 watts should be plenty i use 160 watts per channel but dont use full power on these sweet little speakers

If your receiver has enough power (say at least 120 Watts per channel) it should be okay to hook it up to the receiver.

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

The answer is yes with no problem. I used a Pyle 50 watts per channel receiver with mine and they worked fine! �

I have a 7.1 receiver with 75 watts RMS per channel that works fine and has plenty of volume. These are base reflex (unsealed) speakers which are more efficient vs acoustic suspension speakers (sealed).

I would say it should be fine as long as the 150 watts is not the peak power, but invest in an external equalizer and use together. If you experience a lot "cut offs" or receiver resets, return it and get something either beefier or a brand that pushes more efficient power like Onkyo.

Yes it will. You just need to make sure you have a powerful enough receiver to power the speakers.

Depends. What are the required watts for the speakers you are hooking up? The 120 is peak, so you don't want speakers that require more than that to work.

Hi, I purchased this amp for a two channel configuration, and I am very happy with the results; it has much more power and more fidelity than an integrated receiver. I think that maybe you only have to configure your system to provide the same power level to all the speakers; if not, the front speakers will sound louder than the rest. Regards.

I cannot think of any reason why it would not work just fine. I am not proficient in sound numbers but my receiver is 100 watts per channel and have 4 of the 6 speakers pairs hooked up and it works just fine. No problems at all.

this would not be your best bet. go with a 1000 watt mono amp. I used this 500 watt on my door speakers. Had a 1000 watt mono for my two 10's and it was far more than enough. However the 500 wouldnt give you what you need.

It should be OK. My Yamaha avr can get to 95w and these spkrs are still fine at very loud level (my ear drums start getting hurt)

My Receiver is 125 Watts per channel. I've never even come close to full volume because the speakers are so powerful. You want to crank your stereo then go for it with no worries.
