Onkyo TX-SR508 and Polk Monitor 70's - Enough power?

[The_Gladiator]

Hi all,
I've been looking around forum gathering intelligence for some time.
I finally picked my setup. I'm VERY limited on budget now so I picked Onkyo TX-SR508 and 2x Polk Monitor 70. I will have just that for now (mostly stereo music).

My main question is: Does the receiver I picked have enough power for these speakers?

We rent an apartment, so I will definitely not play it loud or anything. I watch movies, listen to music and play XboX in a 14'x14' room.
I don't really need suggestions, rather just know if that is powerful enough so my bass freq do not suffer/I'm using the maximum bass these can put out.

Thank you for any kind of answer!

The M70s are reasonably sensitive and the with the 508 driving them should be fine in an apartment. Plenty of enough power to get you evicted if you crank them up.

Haha Thanks for reply ...
We will probably get a sub later on but for now my wife does not approve it so 2.0 will have to suffice - that's why I asked if I would be able to fully use the m70's bass potential.

Wife friendly sub. I have one of these and it's tiny, very nice looking and sounds great.

One more question - how can one tells that the receiver doesn't have enough power for the speakers?
Is it that it cannot play that loud or is it that some frequencies will not be as strong as they should be?

Thank you
