I dont think so. like metioned thats just a maximum. my Onkyo gives plenty of power and I push them only around halfway. great combo, they sound excellent. 55 watts is plenty of power for them!!!!!!!!!!!
I just bought the TX-DS494. the TX-SR500 is the replacement as the 494 is disco'd. I have owned a top pioneer and will say the onkyo blows it away ! onkyo quality and power cant be matched by pioneer, no way! and I like pioneer. :)
I just bought JBL NSP-1 and a 12" sub and they sound great on...
