I'm in the middle of upgrading my HT equipment and just ordered a 7700 yesterday. It will be paired with the new Integra 9.8 pre-pro that is due out at the end of July. In the mean time I will use my Onkyo TX DS 787 as a pre-pro.

I am looking forward to hearing a noticeable improvement in all aspects of the new 7700.

I'm looking for some input has to how well my 5 year old JBL's will handle the 7700. They are rated for 200/wpc. Here are the specs for the Studio Series fronts.

Maximum Recommended Amplifier Power*: 250W
Powered Subwoofer Amplifier Output: 200W
Nominal Impedance: 8 Ohms
Sensitivity (2.83V/1m): 91dB
Frequency Response (–3dB): 32Hz – 20kHz
Crossover Frequencies: 200Hz, 850Hz, 3500Hz
High-Frequency Transducer: 1" Pure-titanium dome
Midrange Transducer: 4" PolyPlas™ cone
Midbass Transducer: 6" PolyPlas™ cone
Low-Frequency Transducer: 12" PolyPlas™ cone
Dimensions (H x W x D): 44" x 16" x 13-3/8" (1118mm x 406mm x 340mm)

Some help in understanding the Freq. responce, Crossover Freq and Sensitivity ratings would also be a big help to me. I have never understood any of these items.

Thanks in advance...........
