Pioneer 1014 enough for B&W?

[Scott Andrew]

I currently have a Pioneer 1014TX receiver with Athena speakers and a Dayton sub. I just purchased (yet to receive) B&W DM604-S3 front towers, B&W DM602-S3 rear surrounds, B&W LCR600-S3 centre channel and an HSU STF-3 Subwoofer... now my question is will the Pioneer Receiver be enough to power these speakers??

There should be no problem. The HSU has its own amp, so no worries there.

That receiver will be plenty...110W x 7. The B&W's, while not as efficient as say Klipsch, are 8ohm and have a 90db senstivity rating, so not difficult to push by any stretch. The Hsu, as mentioned, has its own amp, so you should be good to go.

I tried out the 1014 and it seemed to be a little optimistic on it's power rating. How big is your room? It may work, but I'd probably opt for at least a 2ch amp for the mains.
