New member Username: CrazyloofPost Number: 7 Registered: Feb-08 | Alright... first off I'm an uber noob to receivers and home audio and what not. I'm looking for a receiver within 225$ that will put out a good amount of wattage. I'm going to be hooking up a pair of Bose sattelite speakers, Pioneer CS-G205 floor standing speakers, and this subwoofer : http://www.amazon.com/Sony-SA-W3800-Performance-200-Watt-Subwoofer/dp/B000OKZXSU . Suggestions? |
