[QUOTE="jlaubza, post: 1164966, member: 21934"] Some speakers absorb quite a lot of power, others are very sensitive. For example, a lot of Klipsch speakers are claimed to work well with low power amps. What appears to matter is the stated sensitivity of the loudspeaker. You should look for models that have a stated sensitivity of 87db or higher. The fact that it is a floorstander or bookshelf type is largely irrelevant, except that floors standers have a larger resonant volume and may therefore offer louder bass notes than bookshelf speakers, on the whole. With the cheapo Chinese amps you mention, it is vital to buy a large power supply in order to get the max stated watts out of them. I assume you know the difference between watts RMS and music power watts? [/QUOTE]
