Home Theater Power Amplifier Help


Audiogon Community;

I am leaning toward separates in my HT setup, and B&W in-walls.

Right now, I am researching the amplifier power requirements for the system. The room dimensions are 17' x 17' x 7'6". The room volume is ~2,200 cubic feet.

Based on the speaker sensitivity, room size and accoustics and power output relationship I come up with a power requirement of less than 60W per channel to drive the speakers.

Do you agree?

The two subwoofers will be driven off the controller.

Possible Power Amplifier choices include:

Rotel RMB-1066 60W x 6 into 8 Ohms!

Please comment!

Happy Holiday's,

Definitely agree with other responses. Get more power! I can only hope to discourage you from buying in-walls. Look at any reputable speaker company and you will never find a cabinet made of drywall and two by fours. You lose all flexabilty and possibility of accurate set-up and maximum sound focus. I encourage you to research ON-walls, example
Martin-Logan makes a scenario (I believe is the correct name) also Acoustic Research, Legacy, to name a few.
Good Luck
