right! A little update!The room dimensions i gave were based on my eye.. I looked at it and gave it a good guess. I was a little off.The room is about 19.7 x 20.3 x 7.8 giving it about 3120 cubic feet in space.This is less than originally thought and so, the speakers will need even less power to...

I will ask him later.. The driver itself is rated at 60w and the tweeter is rated at 100 w .. both RMS .. I am not very experienced with crossovers and how they affect that but i assume anywhere between 100-200w is perfectly fine.

101 db is plenty... And the speakers are not under any kind of strain either.. sweet! The guy who made the speakers doesn't think they are powerful enough for a home theater setup but 101db is about what you want so they seem loud enough and they use very high quality parts so yeah :P

I emailed them and asked anyway.. it's not like they can flat out lie.The room will have about 3500 cubic feet of free air when seats are in (if that). If you needed that info for your calculation then there you have it :PEDIT : http://myhometheater.homestead.com/splcalculator.html Using that...

Just Believe! Normal home appliances such as irons and kettles pull 2500watts so i don't see what is so hard to believe :P.. they seems to make different versions for the UK and US. I could call them and ask maybe?

Looking at wikipedia, current standard plugs are fitted with a 13 amp fuse.. does that tell you anything? It also says that 15 amp is the most common for domestic use. Plugs here have significantly more power than the ones in the US... which might be why they don't have the 230w on the US website.

I don't know the amps.. sorry. The plug sockets are 240 volts if that helps.. That's all i know at the moment.

9-channel powerful surround sound and full discrete amp configuration --- 230 W per channel (4 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.9 % THD, 1 ch driven [European Model]) That is from the UK website. The sensitivity of the speakers is 87.5 .. i am not sure of the efficiency. [/list]

"So actually you agree with my post - right?"I suppose so. Awesome! things are really coming together...I will stick with the A3030 because I am sure that it will do the job perfectly fine.2200 W speaker set up.. It just sounds so right, you know? yummy numbers...

"BTW "loud" has essentially nothing to do with SQ" Normally i would agree however, sound quality is often affected if speakers are constantly pushed to their limit and if nothing else, over time the SQ will deteriorate. With a room of this size, it would be pushing the physical abilities of the...

I am starting to realize that 7 of the speakers that I plan to build might not be loud enough.. Even if we build the room a little smaller and rearrange the seats. However if we DO change things up a little and build 9, Then that's all good right? the A3030 does power 9 channels with 230W at...

Well... many things have been cleared up.I found a design for the 7 speakers to around AND i am going with dual THT sub boxes.. Can you recommend any specific receivers that can match the A3030? that is the one i am currently considering..And they are not customers.. more like friends.. and i am...

Alright so.. what amp will i need? and what exactly should i do with the centre?

All centre speakers i see are bigger and has more drivers than the other speakers.. it has to cover more area so it makes sense to me :P you gotta remember these rows will be about 18 - 21 feet wide there is a significant space in the middle. If it isn't necessary, why is it always done?

Right so.. what amplifier do i get ? i need one that feeds 150-200 W at 4ohms and double that at 2 ohms (because the centre speaker will be double the parts)
