I'm not saying I'm "sure" of anything. I was only referring to the fact that I have heard it mentioned that many of these cheaper receivers aren't "honest" about the wattage. This is usually in comparison to receivers such as HK which seems to list it's receivers with lower power.

I'm am not saying I know the truth of this matter, just that this is how it has been described to me in the past. I mean there is already some discrepancy as to the WPC as my receiver has a sticker saying 120 watts on the outside yet I am being told here that it is rated at 110.

I think I have now seen that 90 watts should be enough for me in my space. That being said, does anyone have any experience running a Marantz receiver with axiom speakers? Is it one of the "good brands" or is that just a myth?
