Basic question - I'm looking for a black and white answer to understand how receiver power output and speak capacity work. I'm going to get an Onkyo TX-SR806 with 130W RMS x 7. How will this fly with speakers that are 130W max? (older Onkyo 6.1 HTIB setup)
I've read a little about potential clipping, but can't tell if that will hurt the receiver. I've also come across a few very technical articles about output/input power that I can't draw a clear conclusion from.
What do I need to know about receiver output power and speaker power handling?
Also, from looking around this site I'm considering one of EMP's speaker packages and tSc's offerings as well. But again, none of the speakers in my range (consider tSc's TSAT2000-HT10 + surrounds, and EMP's HTP-571T 7.1) hit the 130W RMS range. What to do?
