Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Is this enough power to push Axioms and SVS?

Hello everyone I posted this on hometheaterspot and recived some good suggestions. I also wanted to get suggestions from axiom owners.

The wife has Ok’d me to spend around 2500 on audio. This week I'm getting ready to purchase the following

Fronts Axiom M60ti
Sub-SVS PB10
Surrounds-Axiom QS8
Center-Axiom VP150

Tack on the new harmony remote and some cables and I have no room on the budget left. I bought my receiver the same time I bought the TV it’s a Yamaha RX V530. My question is does the Yamaha have enough power to push all these speakers. The specs are below and thanks.

I listen to allot of concert DVDs ala Rush live in Rio! I also Watch allot of action movies and listen to rock and hip-hop. When the wife and 2 year old are not around I like to crank up the concert DVDs.

I sit 11 ft from the speakers in a family room 14'9"x 13', ceiling is 8ft

Here is a pic




The room is not enclosed notice the two openings next to the fireplace they lead to a huge living room with 20ft cathedral ceilings.




And also the room is open to a kitchen 13'8" x 20" directly behind it



I love open spaces for entertaining, but with HT it’s going to be a challenge.
Thanks again
