My JVC RX7030, 6.1 home theater receiver has 110 watts per channel, but I don't know how much power is devoted to the headphone jack. I want to buy 2 headphones, and occasionally both will be used at once. Will I be OK if they both have low impedance, about 32 ohms each? Or am I worrying about nothing? I'm interested in a couple, one has 32 ohms and one has 65 ohms. Any ideas how these ohms numbers play out in real life? Thanks.
