Is Onkyo 602 powerful enough?

[hog]

Just bought Onkyo 602. Is this receiver powerful enough to run Polk LSi9 (front speakers) with LSiC (center speakers) and LSiFX (or LSi7) (surround sound back speakers) all together? Planning to get a SVS PB12 as well, will it be still ok?

Thanks in advance,

Unfortunately?!

If you live in an apartments and have to run at pretty low levels, it will run it.

If you like to listen at reasonably loud levels (below where conversation seems loud, but where you notice loud scenes as loud enough to wake someone in a close bedroom) You will be dissapointed.

I would at least move the front stage off the onkyo (front left, right, and center) this will move most of the load for you. I don't know if your AVR has pre-outs or not. If so, get a decent 3 channel amp if not - plan on upgrading or listening at low levels.

Like I said I'm thinking about buying SVS PB-12 ISD.

Will this help?

Have you thought about the LSi7's instead of the 9's? Since the 7's are a little smaller, they are a little easier for a receiver to handle. This is my recommendation, especially since you are getting the SVS. I've been running a trio of 7's as my front stage and my receiver handles it fine. Your sub should be more than able to handle everything thrown at it below the 7's usable range.

Just a question, but can you take the receiver back?

I bought my Onkyo 602 from www.jr.com, which is in New York, and I live in San Diego.

So... can I get 4 LSi7 and LSiC plus SVS PB12? Or does anyone suggest SVS PB10 instead?

My room is 26X16X9

Thanks in advance
