[QUOTE="BringDaBoom, post: 4010406, member: 581483"] OK guys, need some help. I plan on eventually getting a pretty kick a$$ set up for the house. To help get me started, my dad graciously gave me a Toshiba 5 channel (plus subwoofer, so 6) home system...minus receiver. The receiver crapped out. I'd like to get a receiver for these speakers that will also be fine for when the time comes to get a nice pair of Klipsch or B&W's. This system looks identical to this: [IMG]http://i16.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/d6/66/ac9f_1.JPG[/IMG] Except the center channel is rectangular instead of more square like the satelite speakers. Here the specs for the speakers: Satellite Speaker Center Speaker Passive Subwoofer Type: 2 Way 2 Speaker 2 Way 2 Speaker 1 Way 1 Speaker Impedance: 8 Ω 8 Ω 4 Ω Frequency: 110 - 40kHz 110 - 40kHz Hz 40 - 1,500Hz SPL: 83 dB/W (1m) 83 dB/W (1m) 82 dB/W (1m) Rated Power: 60W 60W 100 W Max. Power: 120 W 120 W 200 W Now there are 6 speakers total and the specs above list 5. Are the 4 satilites supposed to be wired so that a pair are as one, so that they split the 60W for 30W a piece?
