I am hoping I can either get an answer to the question or advice on how I can find out the answer myself.
I have the
klipsch promedia 4.1 for use with my PC. This is the first edition that has a total of 400watts (RMS) power. 200 for the sub and 4x50 for the 4 satellites. It was later revised to 4x80 and the sub at 80 (the one in the link).
I wonder if I can use the Klipsch sub/amp to power a pair of or two pairs of M2s until I can (piecemeal) get a cheap 5.1 receiver to use instead. Wiring from the sub to the M2s would not be a problem (there are no proprietary connections), but I wonder/worry about there being enough power.
So my question would be “How do I find out if the sub/amp can push enough juice to the M2s”? Would it be a good idea to get or borrow some speakers to test it first?
Is there anyone out there who has a setup similar to what I am thinking of?
Also, I wonder if anyone is already using a 5.1 receiver and an Audigy 2ZS for their PC gaming/movie/goodness. If so, how do you have it connected? Digital out? Some from of jerry-rigged wiring? Are there any cheap-o receivers for this duty that anyone would recommend?

Maybe I’m just looking for an excuse to buy more speakers from Axiom….
