Please bear with me on this.
Please help, I need someone who knows about this stuff as I am confused by all the numbers.
My question is a simple one, but impossible for me to work out.
Will the speakers (details of which are below the AV Receiver specs) be OK for my Onkyo 606 AV Receiver with no worries about them being either under or overpowered by it?
Eventually Im going to get a Pioneer VSX 921, but I will worry about that when the time comes.
In the AV Receiver FEATURES section at the beginning of the manual it states:-
90 Watts/Channel @ 8 ohms (FTC)
140 Watts/Channel @ 6 ohms (FTC)
175 Watts/Channel @ 6 ohms (JEITA)
This to me is way to confusing with all the differences, imagine how much worse it went when I got to the back of the book and read In the SPECIFICATIONS section .
Technical specifications:
90 watts minimum continuous power per channel, 8 ohm loads, 2 channels driven from 20hz to 20kHz, with a maximum total harmonic distortion 0.08% (FTC).
105 watts minimum continuous power per channel, 8 ohm loads, 2 channels driven at 1kHz, with a maximum total harmonic distortion 0.7% (FTC).
110 watts minimum continuous power per channel, 6 ohm loads, 2 channels driven at 1kHz, with a maximum total harmonic distortion 0.1% (FTC).
Then it says:
7ch x 140W at 6 ohms, 1kHz, 1 channel driven (IEC)
Dynamic Power 210 W (3 ohms, Front)
180 W (4 ohms, Front)
110 W (8 ohms, Front)
The speakers I want are the Jamo A 102 HCS 6 set. And these are the specs and on the label in the shop it said that these speakers were 60W RMS. I imagine that the figures for the receiver are not in RMS but I need someone who knows how to make sense of this stuff.
Suround speakers:
System Type Full Range Closed
Power (W, long/short term) 60/80
Sensitivity (dB,2.8V/1m) 86
Frequency Range (Hz) 150-15,000
Impedance (Ohm) 6
Front speakers:
System Type 2-way closed shielded
Power (W, long/short term) 60/80
Sensitivity (dB,2.8V/1m) 86
Frequency Range (Hz) 150-20,000
Impedance (Ohm) 6
Centre speaker:
System Type 2-way closed shielded
(W, long/short term) 60/80
Sensitivity (dB,2.8V/1m) 86
Frequency Range (Hz) 150-20,000
Impedance (Ohm) 6
Subwoofer:
System Type Bass Reflex
Power (W, long/short term) 200
Frequency Range (Hz) 38-200
Power Mode Switch Auto / On / Off
Variable Phase Control 0 to -180
Crossover Frequency 40 - 200
Impedance (Ohm) 22k
Thanks for the help.
