That is great news! Thank you liebherr954! I guess the sub's 200W 420 peak figures threw me off. It also mentions that the system's total power is at 700W, but I assume that includes the sub's power draw from the wall, rather than the receiver? I'm excited to get the unit in about a week now!

I am looking at the brochure and it seems to mention 'Recommended amplifier power: up to 100watts/ch'... So it seems the speakers should be fine? So im my very confused scenario, what does the 'Amplifier: Digital Hybrid; 200 watts RMS (420 watts peak)' mean?

Hi all!, I own a Yamaha HTR 6240 receiver and am now looking to get a new home theater speaker system. I am very interested in the Klipsch Theater 1000 (HDT 1000), but I am slightly concerned with the wattage compatibility (since this is all a little confusing). I've read everywhere and to my understanding underpowering my speakers would damage them. In that case, is it correct to say that the HDT 1000 speakers demand too much power for my receiver to handle? According to the spec sheets: Receiver: RMS output at 105W x 5 and Total power at 525W (http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/av-receivers-amps/htr/htr-6240_black__u/?mode=model) Speakers: Digital Hybrid; 200 watts RMS (420 watts peak) (http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/hd-theater-1000-specifications/) Does that mean receiver = 105W per channel and speakers = 200W per channel? In conclusion, do I need to get a more powerful receiver that can output >=200W per channel, or go with speakers <= 105W per channel? I have a feeling I am very wrong with this. Please correct me! Basically, will the HTR 6240 receiver work with the HDT 1000, if not, why? Thanks in advance! Cheers, Joe
