Think 150-200 wpc to avoid clipping if you play stuff loud. Bigger is better to avoid clipping. The rated wattage of speakers is pretty irrelevant. With the big amps, those first couple of watts, the ones you really use, are cleaner. 200 wpc amps usually lend a bit more detail to music, IMO. Best wishes!

I used to be looking for Hi-Vision Laserdiscs & D-Theater tapes, now I'm looking for HD-DVD's and Blu-rays. I survived the AFI top 100 Film Challenge! I've seen them all. favourite saying: hard feelings are for park benches... sit on that!
