Dear All, Please Advice Matching 5.1 Speakers For Yamaha RX-A1050.
everettT Audioholic Spartan Feb 1, 2017 #2 There isn't really matching speakers for avrs. You want to choose speakers first, then choose an avr that can power the speakers to the levels you need without distortion or clipping. What's your budget, room size, listening habits, your location?

If you're using a lower powered avr in a medium to large room, you might want to avoid insensitive speakers like tiny bookshelves or satellites, all things being equal.

For me fortunately, I have and would have more than enough amplification to power any speaker. When buyers have a limited budget, my advice is the same, choose speakers first then power

I agree, I just know someone somewhere has purchased a cheap receiver and some cheap, tiny 83dB 1w1m speakers, which will most definitely send that puny amplifier into clipping at a 95dB peak sitting 10' away.

With a limited budget, I would reverse the options and choose speakers that a budget AVR can drive. My logic behind the reversal is a limited power AVR could clip when pushed too hard and damage the speakers. If budgets aren't all that limited, then I too would pick the speakers first. To the OP, the top 3 models in the RX-A series (your's included) have stout power supplies and hardy amplifiers. You have a wide range of speakers to choose from. I'm very partial to PSB and Yamaha as you can see in both my signature and galleries.

Again I certainly get it from building a system that way.

I used to use a pair of 94dB klipsch icons i got for $120 on black Friday with a lousy htib receiver and had no difficulty achieving a clean output of 105dB. An entire 5.1 setup could be built on $1000 budget with something like that using a low cost 50wpc receiver and a Dayton sub from parts express, and it would have no problems achieving reference level SPL.
