Thank you for the feedback. Its primary use will be for music, but I am planning on buying a projector and tentatively looking to put together a 5.1 setup for movies. It does seem that there are quite a few opinions on how to pair speakers with amplifiers, but you have gone some way to reassure me that I won't be mismatching and ultimately damaging decent speakers!

Hi there, I'm trying to match my Klipsch RP-150M monitor speakers with a suitable amplifier. The power handling of the speakers is a continuous 75 watts. I've read that you ought to find an amp that offers 80% of the speakers continuous power handling. Roughly speaking, around 60 watts per channel. However, I have also read on this forum that Klipsch speakers are really efficient and can handle amps that offer more power. I've found a good deal on the Denon AVR-X2200W. However, this AV receiver offers 95 watts per channel. Would it be a mistake to pair these together, and if so, what is the maximum threshold that these speakers can handle? Thanks in advance for your response, Cheers, Russell
