| Revel F-30/ large or small ..."However at "loud" volume levels, I am concerned that I may be over driving them."This is a common problem wiht audiophiles/enthusiests who run full range speakers as such for HT! Often your not only under-amping them, but your passive speakers... | |

| Which amp for Def's Yeah B&K wouldn't hurt you any with the Def's. Still, dolar per dolar, the 2000's do great with Parasound gear! Forgiving, fullbodied, dynamic (yes, 200w would help your dynamics for midrange and treble), warm(which mates well with the Def's, ... | |

| Large Speakers Small Rooms The simple answer is about what Newbee said. It's really more practical, in most applications, to use smaller speakers and maybe a well placed sub(Preferably EQ'd!).Big speakers with deeper bass extension will tend to make it harder for you to get... | |
