Couple questions... sorry if lame.
1. Just got my basement finished, bought my hdtv and a new progressive dvd. Not much $$ left for the audio :frowning: and im on a tight leash by the wife... so I will be using my old sony dolby digital receiver that only has like a 35w rating for surrounds. Just got a helluva deal on a pair of n26aws (wife insist on white for surrounds:b)that are rated 125w... will this be a problem? Can you mess up speakers by underpowering them??
2. How messed up will my soundstage (damned if i even know what a "soundstage" is but it sounds as if it fits for this question) be using smaller speakers as my main speakers?? The speakers have to sit in my entertainment center and the n24s seem perfect. I guess this question is really for the future when i pick up a fully powered receiver... will the surrounds overpower the mains?
no laughing at the dumb questions..
edit: I've only just bought the n26s, so i have nothing for my mains just yet and maybe you guys (if convincing enough) can talk the wife into bigger mains? the n26s are definately the biggest i can go, if i can even get that big. :b
