Hello,
I'm currently in the market for some new speakers and came across the Cerwin-Vega VE-12F 12" 3 Way's. My concern is whether or not these will get along with my receiver as I'm still fairly clueless how the hell to figure power measurements. I have an ole Pioneer VSX-517. The Cerwin's have a 300-watt load each. Here are the manuals for both of them.

What I think I should be looking at but don't understand it.
Continuous Power Output (stereo)
Front. . . 110W (20Hz to 20kHz, THD 0.2%, 8 Ohms
Rated Power Output
(surround/ 20Hz to 20kHz, THD 0.07%, 8 Ohms)
Front . . . 90W per Channel
Center. . . . 90W
Surround. . . 90W per Channel
Speakers Manual from site - Specs shown on page 19 - PDF format
http://www.cerwin-vega.com/manuals/home/vemanualrevbweb.pdf
The Cerwin's Specs
Freq Rep: 28Hz-20kHz
Recommended Power/Output: 300W
Sensitivity (2.83V/1m): 93dB
I'm looking at these because it has the whole package I want in two speakers. I was thinking about getting two speakers and a sub, but I honestly would like to have it all in the two speakers.
To keep things simple, all I want to know is will this set-up get along without ruining each other. Last thing I want is to either burn out my AMP or ruin the speakers with an underpowered AMP. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
Cheers!
