New reciever needed for JBL 4311b

[shpatb 10+ year member]

I have two JBL 4311b's hooked up to an old 5.1 channel RCA reciever, but i dont think they get the power they need, what do you guys recomment i get to give the JBL's the real power they need? all i need the reciever to do is take the signle from my computer and power the speakers, no cd player, anything like that, just something with better sounding power output, i dont really want to spend too much on it.

I'd recommend something vintage...Rotel, NAD, Sansui, Marantz, etc. Should be able to find something for under $200, which basically is a throwaway price for new equipment today.

i'd like it to have an output channel for a powered subwoofer, im not quite sure if it is necisary considering the JBL's have plently of bass out put, i suppose its just a nice thing. Do you know where i can pick those out other then ebay?

edit, the JBLs are 8 ohm and 75 RMS if not 150 RMS.

Simple solution for that, use a sub amp that has a high-level input...I've never owned anything that has a powered sub output, works fine for the plate amp on the back of the Rava //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
