Speaker/Amplifier Wattage

Keith Fortier New member Username: K40air Post Number: 1 Registered: Jan-07	Posted on Tuesday, January 16, 2007 - 23:15 GMT I recently purchased the Klipsch RB-81 bookshelf speakers, which are rated at (150W RMS / 600W Peak) After installing them I have been told that I am not sending them ample power. I matched them with the Yamaha HTR-6090 that does (120W x 7). Is this true that my speakers RMS power should be less than my recievers output? I have seen instances in which people say at least half! I am considering going to a smaller speaker if this is the fact. Am I getting two involved with the wattage from the reciever to the RMS power of the speaker. I don't want to hurt the reciever. Suggestions

" Yep. I would just enjoy the sound and if it doesn't sound good, replace it.

Everything sounds great but i wonder if i went down a speaker size would the amp drive it more
