I have an Onkyo A-RV401 receiver. The manual says 100W per channel at 8 ohms. should I get these speakers?

these are great speakers for the money speakers are very subjective but that said i dont think you can go wrong with these i have 2 pair and many of the smaller ones (pioneer) you have enough power to run them m but i would add a subwoofer for deep bass

Recommended Power: 10-175 watts RMS per channel, 350-watts peak, Impedance: 8 ohms "http://www.bicamerica.com/showpage.php?brand=2&type=7&spkrID=114" I think you will be fine, but at 100 watts these speakers will be very loud.

My comment is that I agree that underpowered receivers or amps will easily damage your speakers. I learned the hard way when I was a teenager 25 years ago and the receivers I used then blew tweeters. Then I bought a Carver amp and felt the difference. At this time, I have Carver amps driving L/R/C/Sub Channels on my system. It is safer to have a 250RMS Watts per channel amp than a 40watt receiver. Of course if the Low Frequency Driver is damaged, obviously it was defective.

hard to say. I run them on marantz sr6005... which is a bit more powerful (100W)... however, according the manufacturer specs (polk audio), they would run with an amplifier 20-200W...

Yes. Make sure you set receiver speaker settings to 6 ohm. Most receiver default setting is 8 ohm. Refer to your manual if you are not sure where or how to change setting. Get these speakers. You will love them. Make sure you have a sub to go with it.

Your speakers are rated at 120 watts, I recently bought a pair to use in the rear of a surround sound system. This receiver is rated at 100 watts per channel. Your speakers are a perfect match for this receiver.

I have used Onkyo receivers and find them be reliable, affordable, and full of features. I would suggest that you pay attention to the watts per channel needed and search for a receiver that will easily handle the power that's needed.

These speakers are 100 watts a channel @8 ohm Call Klipsch they will give you an answer

It depends on the ohms. These speakers are 8 ohms. If the amp is rated for 4 ohms, you will fry your speakers. If the amp is rated at 8 ohms, you should be fine. I have a pair of these speakers hooked up to an an amp thst puts out 125 watts @ 8 ohms per channel and they sound fantastic.

My speakers are rated at 125W and I have not had any issues. Even at fairly high volume my speakers sound great. Higher power generally equates to better sound and less distortion so you are probably less likely to "blow up" your speakers with this receiver.

I consider 75 RMS 2 ohms is fine. I think this speakers are overrated. I use them long time ago with my alpine V-POWER series amp, calculating 100 RMS 2 ohms per channel and soon burned the tweeters.Before that, I used 60-70 RMS per channel and everything was perfect.sorry for my bad english LOL

these Infinity speakers will handle 75 watts. I have an Onkyo at 65 per channel @8 ohms and the work wonderfully. It is hard to beat Infinity speakers. Good luck.

You should do some more research as answers vary. Are you running 2channel? Bridged? Read the instructions, I don't recall the output in each mode, but it depends on the resistance of the speakers. Seems to me 250w rms speakers will do fine with that amp...

I believe they are 125 watts. My receiver is 15 yrs. Old and supplies 100 watts per channel and it sounds bad ass!! As long as theyre not over powered so theres no risk of blowing them is what I would go by.. I also have the cv center channel and it makes a big difference when watching movies. Not so much for music(center channel speaker that is)

The receiver can easily drive 4 ohm speakers. The RMS power rating of 80W applies to 8 ohm speakers, so the power output for 4 ohms will be somewhat greater. You can change the speaker impedance from the default setting of 8 ohms to 4 ohms using the "Advanced Setup" menu as described on page 37 of the owner's manual.

My Receiver is 125 Watts per channel. I've never even come close to full volume because the speakers are so powerful. You want to crank your stereo then go for it with no worries.

I have a pioneer 75 watts pushing them and they sound okay. 165 watts would prob sound nice.
