[QUOTE="Vaughan, post: 67011, member: 693"] How much power you'll need will depend on the sensitivity of the speakers, room size and listening habits. It's possible the RXV-1800 may provide all the power you'll need to run the RS6 package cleanly in your size room. Before rushing to buy a power amp you may or may not need, I would test your Yamaha with the RS package first, then if you [i]really[/i] are hell bent on the idea, audition the power amp you want. If you don't [i]need[/i] the extra power then in my opinion it's a moot point. If you decide to add a stereo power amp (or 5.1/7.1) to the system then it's possible you may need to readjust your speaker levels. In my opinion, if you really want to improve the sound of your system then I would rather add a subwoofer or two. By engaging bass management you will reduce the workload on the RS6's which will result in cleaner, crisper overall sound, more available headroom and lower distortion. There is a lot of deep bass recorded in music and movies which may be glossed over if you use the RS6's on their own. Just my suggestion. [/QUOTE]
