I had 2 R28-F set up on a cheap 2 channel, 200 watt insignia receiver when I upgraded from my Klipsch bookshelves speakers. I had problems with the receiver shutting off even though it was 100 watts per channel, when playing at high volumes. Decided to get a new receiver.
Went to best buy and they sold me on the Sony STR-DN1070. Honestly it sounds good and it doesn't shut off anymore. I am very annoyed the more research I do in that Sony never gives WPC in 8 OHMs.
Klipsch blog says to have receiver that does 120 watts at 8 ohm measuring at 20-20k mhz.
1. I'm not sure if this receiver does this because sony specs seem to be a scam.
2. Am I under powering? Is this a good receiver or am I way off in terms of do I need to spend more money for a better recever?
Honestly I just want to play music and maybe hook my tv to my set up. I will have a 200 watt sub and 2 book shelf speakers I want to add as well. This receiver is more than I will ever need but not sure if it is matching that power I need for maximum performance for these speaker.
I've read a lot of people saying they are amping with 5 watts but I want maximum performance not minimum requirements. $600 is probably my budget right now. Am I way off mark here?
Thank you in advace.
