It ought to drive them just fine, but like every other amp in the world, it'll never make them sound good.

The Onkyo M1 has very decent power and a nice warm sound. Looks pretty decent too. I had one and liked it very much. If you can find one for less than or equal to $150 shipped it's a very good deal.

We're not talking about the amp, it's the speakers that'll never sound good.

Zooom, right over his head.

OOOPS:rolleyes: they sound alright,not a an audiophile for sure just big "detroit rock city"speakers.Their fun when ya throw in some live foghat and try to knock pictures off the walls!And I have to say...gobbs and gobbs of bass...takes me back to my teen years,I hafta to be honest,every time he fires em up,I want to break into some air guitar:(

[George Grand]

That's good cause you're going to have a tough time getting realistic air flute or air violin material out of those C-V's.
