What Receiver is Needed for These Speakers

[Mathcr]

I have a Definitive Technologies C1 center speaker and Cambridge Soundworks dipole surrounds. I plan on buying used BP 2004TL Definitive Tech towers to match the center speaker. How much do I need to spend on a receiver to realize the quality of the speakers? Would a $300 Pioneer work?
Thanks...Charlie

A friend of mine has the Def Tech speakers, they sound great.
He's running a Sony ES reciever, But he's also planned on getting
a denon AVR series. You may want to switch the sub out with
a velodyne degital drive sub. hope this helps

Room info.

What is the impedence and efficiency of the speakers? What is the size of your room? How loud do you listen to music and HT?

The amount of power you need from your new receiver is determined by the above questions and the features that you want/need. Depending on your answers, $300 would probably be a good minimum price range.
