Hi
I have a 100RMS (stereo), 80RMS (5.1 channel) amplifier. I am looking at two different set of speakers:
1. 80 RMS/max 120 x 2 (Main), 35/60 RMS (Centre) and 30/60 RMS x 2 (Rear) at 4ohms
OR
2. 100rms/max 150 x 2 (Main), 40/80 RMS (Centre) and 35/80 RMS x 2 (Rear) at 8ohms
(this second specification is quoted as the above and then in other places as 150RMS each speaker, which I doubt.

Which do you think I should go for?

Thanks in anticipation.
Andrew

What are the rest of the specs? Honestly, if you use just those numbers, you'll be making a pretty ill-informed decision. See if you can post some more information, and I'll bet you'll get some good advice here.

the speakers' "amount of watts" mean nothing in particular.

i almost hate to say it, but: bigger is better; especially the hi-effeciency types.

i'd urge you to learn more in general, about speakers.
