[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8801326, member: 614752"] The difference between 75W and 100W into a loudspeaker will likely be inaudible. That said, the difference between the sound of a "75W" component and a "125W" component may be dramatic. 75Wx4 is certainly an adequate amp for your mids and highs but I'd suggest to stay away from the lowest entry level speakers regardless of brand you're shopping. Just the next tier up from entry level is generally a big improvement in sound and build quality. If the ONLY difference in those components was power handling I'd say get the low one but that's typically not the case when you're shopping for brand name co-axial or component sets where they give the higher model lines more power handling largely because the market expects to see bigger numbers to go with their price tags.
