40 watt amp with 8 ohm speakers


Hi, I'm new to this and trying to put together a decent system with used components. Bought the NAD av711 which is a 40 watt amp, and some old 8 ohm Ohm speakers (Ohm Pro 32). Is this a bad match--do I need a more powerful amp for these speakers? Also looking for a cd player to go well with these, for under $500, and would love some advice. Thanks!

I think Dukes' advice is solid; I also would take a look at some of the Denon players; you could buy new or pick up a higher end unit used.
Good luck on your system!
