I find myself with a Sony receiver (STRDE197)that produces 100 w per channel. My speaker specs (Sony SSF6000) say that its "power handling" rating is 180w. I have read in various threads that having too little power causes problems for the speakers. Do I have a problem here? My apologies for my beginner-level understanding.
PR, you do not have a problem unless you increase the volume to a point that the receiver starts clipping or the tweeters are stressed. Ignore all the numbers. When it sounds like it is hurting, thats too much.
