I am studying, reading and researching, and am now a little confused, so need a little help choosing a safe power profile for a receiver.
I just put in an order for an R-34C, two pairs of R-51Ms for front and rear, and one pair of R-41Ms for sides.
Now I just noticed the R-41Ms have 50W continuous power handling while the R-34C has 100W.
So now I read the Klipsch beginner piece on receivers saying power per channel of receiver should be between 0.8 and 2 x power handling of speaker.
So am I truly locked into a range of 80 - 100 watts for my receiver research?
I read in other sites that the peak power handling is the power which puts the drums at fullest extension. So when the R-41M spec says peak handling is 200W, how do I interpret this range of 50 - 200? I hear that going low on wattage can damage a speaker as well, so is it safer to put a R-41M on a 110W post than to put a R-34C on an 80W post?
