  • HT-R550 powering A3s?

    Hi, I have an Onkyo HT-R550 receiver. I am in the market to upgrade my speakers, but I was wondering how well my receiver would power the A3s, and A2 center? My receiver is not exactly high end, but as I understand from reading about these speakers, they seem to handle power very efficiently.

    Thanks.

    This is a great choice, K-Dubb, especially given the high current headroom Onkyo's have. Nice.
