Is it just me, or did anybody else find this review somewhat confusing (from gonk's link above):
...so 65 watts does produce a decent SPL, even on my demanding ribbons.
In any case, the receiver was plenty for the Paradigms and Monitor Audios.
Oh...maybe 65 Outlaw watts are plenty.
As I said, 65 watts will still produce a reasonable volume. For two channel listening, just use efficient speakers, at least 90 dB/w/m. For surround sound listening, when you have 60 watts being delivered to each of seven channels, it will be plenty loud. But, this receiver will work best in small home theater rooms.
Huh?!?!
