Onkyo Receiver for Stereo sound with M3's - 08/24/10 05:13 PM
Hey all,
I have a quick question about powering M3 v3's, but I want to say first how helpful the forums and website in general have been. Really good stuff.
I'm trying to determine if the receiver I'm most interested in (Onkyo TX-sr508) has enough power to drive the M3's. It's rated at 80W/channel and will only need to power 2 speakers in a stereo setup. I like the 508 because it gives me some room to grow into a home theater setup at some point, but still fits in my lowly college student budget. I'll be placing everything in a small/medium sized living room and listen to music at reasonable volumes. If more power is necessary, I can probably justify it for good sound, but I am trying to keep costs as low as possible as funds are tight.
Thanks for the help!
