Marantz SR011 with Kef R700?

[nickisnoob]

Hello,

Will my Marantz be able to run the Kef r700 properly?

Watch movies pretty loud, about movie theater levels.

Room is about 20' x 13

Kef R700:
AMPLIFIER REQUIREMENTS 25 - 200 W
SENSITIVITY 89dB (2.83V/1m)

Marantz SR6011 has 110W per channel

Thanks.

This is a great tool I've used a bunch.

You enter your distance from the speakers and other info and it will calculate for you.

Thanks, seems like its plenty. 110 dB is more than enough

110 dB is indeed more than enough but if you really listen at movie theater level then I suggest you don't sit further than 12 ft away from your front speakers, and if you do run Audyssey, follow instructions to the letter. After that, do NOT crank your volume above -5, ever. Also, set crossovers for all your speakers to 80 Hz, not below. That little Marantz AVR should be fine in your 20'X13'room, but only if you treat it like a mid range AVR.
