Will these speakers work?

[adamfilip]

i have a Yamaha RX-A720 Receiver 7.2
http://ca.yamaha.com/en/products/audio-visual/av-receivers-amps/rxa-series/rx-a720_black_u/?mode=model

i would like to get a set of Pioneer speakers to run a 5.1 setup
Pioneer SP-BS22-LR bookshelf x2 (80 watt)
Pioneer SP-C22 Centre (90 watt)
Pioneer SP-FS52 Floor Standing Speakers x 2 (130 watt)
Pioneer SW-8MK2 Sub 8" (100 watt)

im concerned about the 90watt per channel of the yamaha

will i run into any issues with these speakers?

It will be fine. The 90 watt per channel is what the Yamaha is capable of at only 2 channels driven at 8 ohms. Those speakers and that AVR are a good fit.

Those speakers will be fine as long as you're not in a concert hall sitting 40 feet from them and expecting to get ear-splitting volume. At more common distances and room size, they're OK and the receiver won't be taxed.

The sub...not so much. You should try to do better because it appears you're shooting for home theater. You would want far more than what that pedestrian "mid bass" unit can do.

Can you recommend a substitute sub for a similar price?

Similar to what price?

If you go to the subwoofer section of this forum there's a thread (many, actually) about effective budget subwoofers. I have a BIC Formula F12 that I picked up off the local Craigslist (in perfect condition) for $120. There are plenty of good options out there, I don't know what your budget is. What I do know is almost anything recommended in those threads will outperform the one you listed, and that makes more difference in home theater than most any speaker or receiver.

Budget for sub is about $160 USD, I want to keep it fairly small so i can hide it easily

Step the towers down to another pair of BS22s and put more toward the sub if possible. On a budget like that, I'd recommend this, but it isn't so easy to hide:

Easier to hide and actually performs decently:

I bought that one for my kids and was surprised at how well it does for the size/price
