Love these forums.....all kinds of usefull and helpful stuff.....although they seem to like to go off into strange tangents now and then...(keeps it interesting though)...I am ready to take the plunge with the 950, and was wondering if the "rear surrounds" have much information present when playing with various types of 6.1 - 7.1 sources...I guess my question is, will a 200 watt amplifier be overkill for my rear surrounds.....is there much info to "amplify"? I'm using old JBL L100 floor standing speakers for my rear surrounds now (using a Parasound CSE6.1), with an old Fosgate 4100 amp @ 200 watts per channel powering them, and lets just say they don't kick butt in my set up......they add a little with some music and movies...nothing spectacular....I don't think it's the fault of the JBL's or the Fosgate amp, they both are definitely good quality, and have served me well over the years.......but I also don't have all of the newest surround options that are available now......and the various tweaks available to adjust for room, crossovers, etc........like with the 950......I know I'm still living in the 20th century, with o.l.d. equipment......I want to join the 21st century!!!! Just really curious about your thoughts on those "rear surround" effects through the 950.......
