Hi every one,

Sorry, for my english, I'm french. I'm new to this forum, but I've been reading you guys for quite a while.

I have a quick question. I currently own an HK AVR 525 receiver, with 4 Paradigm Titan as front and back, a Paradigm cc170 as center and Paradigm PDR12 as sub. Now, Christmas is approaching, and I'm considering upgrading my system. Can the HK avr 525 power the Axiom Epic 80?

TIA.

Like WillScary said, it'll do fine. The AVR525 is listed 70 watts X 7 but I think HK under rate their recievers.

If you do a search on the posts going back several months, you'll find one that links to an article that lists the actual tested power vs. the claimed power. You'll find that not only does H/K underrate (or accurately rate), many (most?) other manufacturers actually OVER rate their power.
