More Power Needed For 4 Ohm Speakers?

[bobbyg]

I'm about to purchase a new HT, but after having read numerous threads, I'm wondering if my A/V Receiver will supply enough power for my speakers.

A/V Receiver = Pioneer VSX82TXS
Surround Power = 130W x 7 channels @ 8 ohms
Stereo Power = 130W x 2 channels @ 8 ohms
Fronts = LSI 9's
Center = LSIC
Surrounds = LC65I's (in-walls)
Sub = Velodyne VLS3750R (175W)

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Its like getting a Ferrari with a 4 cylinder!

Get a seperate amp if you have the pre outs. If not, you are looking for an entirely new unit.

Welcome. Looks like you have lots of preouts (looked at online brochure). You will probably need and want additional power.

To be honest, I think you should look at another receiver. The models you will need are pricey.

With an LSi based system, you might want to go seperates.
