Hello,

Thanks for reading this post.

I have a Crown Amp XTi 4000, which I used to hook up to my $300 karaoke speakers (BMB CS-500). This setup sounds better than my M60s/Onkyo NR801 (Both for normal music and karaoke). So I was thinking the M60s were 3 times more expensive than BMB CS-500, how could the BMBs sound better. It must be the Crown Amp vs the Onkyo. So I hooked up the BMBs to the Onkyo. It's hard to tell whether this setup is better than M60s/Onkyo.

What I want to try is to hook up the M60s to the Crown Amp XTi 4000, which is rated at 650W/8ohms/channel. However, the M60s is rated only 250W/8ohms.

My Questions:

1) If I hook the XTi4000 to M60s, would it pop or blow up the M60s?

2) Is M60s rated 250W Peak or 250W RMS?

If someone has some experience with Crown Amp and Axiom Speakers, please suggest or share the experience.

Thanks much for your time,
Jake
