Thank you, Terry, Comay, wvu80 and Carlthess 40. I went ahead and ordered the receiver and am glad that it will be enough to power the speakers I mentioned above. I did listen to the speakers at a local sound room and realized how much I was missing in my life. Yes, I've spent at least 100 hours in the last two weeks researching, comparing, and learning details about AV technology, speaker technology and even wiring technology that, at first, drove me crazy. But the more I read, the more interesting it became. Being an old guy at 63, I am extremely thankful for all the information available in countless AV websites, forums, YouTube videos, etc. In the old days, such information was hard to come by. Your responses have confirmed that my research time was well worth it. I can't wait until my speakers, receiver and wire arrive. If you do not hear from me again, it will most likely be because I will be in eternal nirvana listening to new and old music like I never heard it before. Thank you again for your time in responding to my question.
