Ok obviously I am an extreme rookie, I just booted by Awia Mini system to the curb and Purchased a New Receiver. It is a Sony 80watts per on 5 channels. Now my question is I found a pair of older speakers that say 130watt max, got a great deal on them so i could pass it up. Here is my question "since it is 80w per channel, 5 channels, Is my receiver a 400 watt receiver?...if it is can I hook up those 130 watt speakers, and compensate with another pair of lower watt speakers to make up for the left over watt?"
This may be the dumbest question ever, but every salesperson I call is just trying to get me to buy more stuff from him. Any response would be much appreciated. Oh money is a slight problem, I can afford electronics but not at thousands of dollars a clip.
