Thanks again for the help. I think I'm getting it. Sam, I understand about the ohms and the spl, etc. but I'm still not understanding why the wattage rating does not have pretty much any meaning according to what you're saying. I get that it's not one of the top things to be looking for but...

Hi Gene, The F12s are actually the ones that I'm leaning towards. The subwoofer is like 10 to 15 years old from what I can tell but still gets outstanding reviews. Not that the others were bad on the BICs but seems everyone prefers the F12. I know my RCA speakers are cheap. Let's say for the...

Nevermind, got the answer. The subwoofer does not have to match, that's just with the speakers. Thanks for the feedback.

Sorry, I'm really not familiar with the acronyms and technical terms, could you keep it simple, please? When you say "5.0" are you talking about my speakers? and not the sub? I know that when they say 5.1, they're referring to 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer, so you're saying that if I get the BIC...

Are you saying that if I get a BIC subwoofer then I should also get BIC speakers all around?

Thank you all for the responses. One more question to bug you with if you don't mind. Right now, I have RCA HTIB speakers hooked up to the Pioneer receiver (The RCA Receiver or whatever you want to call it broke...Cheaply made..Get what you pay for I guess). The speakers work fine with it but I...

I'm saying hypothetical. I have no clue what the "Efficiency" is. I kind've know about the ohms where the lower the ohms the more strain it puts on a receiver, so you want to get the same ohms as the receiver, other than that, I'm clueless. If I was to go to my neighborhood Best Buy, you're...

I'm sorry but that's not making sense to me. I kind've understand what you are saying about the ohms, I do remember reading something about having matching between the receiver and speakers. I am really lost on the wattage here, so are you saying that if there are 2 completely identical pair of...

I appreciate the response but that honestly tells me nothing. So, are you saying that it doesen't matter if I get 10 watt speakers or 800 watt speakers for a 140 watt receiver, it's all the same? I've done some research and I understand that theres a minimal, optimal, and peak and the...

I am sort've new to the Home Theater world but trying to learn, so I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question. I recently bought a Pioneer 140 watt receiver. My question is this, if there were 2 sets of speakers that were completely identical except one was 200 watts and the other has 500...

It's RT2911.

I know HTIB and receiver are not the same thing. That's not what I'm asking. The HTIB that I bought came with a receiver and I might be wrong but I really do not think it would be a problem using different speakers. What my question is, if I do this and lets assume for the sake of argument that...

I have an RCA HTIB. It's definitely not the best but I was looking to get something cheap. My question is this, if I replace my existing speakers with better speakers but keep the same RCA receiver will that make a noticeable difference in the quality of sound?
