B&W 804 off of a Sony Receiver???


Can I run my B&W 804s off of a cheap Sony receiver? My fiends say they wouldn't thinking they might get damaged.

I think they're BS'ing. I;m trying to find some Parasound equipment for the speakers but would like to listen to them in the meantime...

Audio_99,

Actually the 804's are more efficient (90dB spl, 2.83V, 1m) than the 805s (88dB spl, 2.83V, 1m). In fact, the 805s require a lot of power to provide maximum returns.
