Home Theater Advice - Receivers and Speakers
"bob" wrote in message
... Don't worry about this (despite what Harley says). It is important to get a receiver powerful enough to drive your chosen speakers, but assuming sufficient power, the idea that a set of speakers will sound different with every receiver out there is golden-ear bunkum. It's not so much a matter of speaker-receiver "systems" sounding different, it's a matter of different amplifiers often sounding different. There is no voodoo here. True, there can be incompatibilities with certain types of speakers. All power is not equal. Some amps can deliver more current into varying loads, etc. So "sufficient power" is not a sufficient condition to base your buying choice on, necessarily. Having said that, most middle of the road quality 5.1 speaker systems will be fine with most quality receivers. As mentioned, pay attention to room acoustics if you want more than just clear movie soundtracks. And as mentioned, pay attention to the subwoofer, subwoofer placement, and crossover/integration as well. |

Except that they often don't--at least when you compare them carefully. bob |
