Alright... first off I'm an uber noob to receivers and home audio and what not. I'm looking for a receiver within 225$ that will put out a good amount of wattage. I'm going to be hooking up a pair of Bose sattelite speakers, Pioneer CS-G205 floor standing speakers, and this subwoofer : http://www.amazon.com/Sony-SA-W3800-Performance-200-Watt-Subwoofer/dp/B000OKZXSU /ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1204760680&sr=8-1 . Suggestions? |

Also that subwoofer is 200W RMS and I'm not sure how the receiver power works really, but I want to get the full effect from the subwoofer (the subwoofer also has an amp built on so.... I'm a tad confused) |

if you can stretch a little check this out http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8258501&type=product&id=1170289629 617
dont be to worried about the amount of watts it has.
it will give you more than enough power to drive those speakers.
the sub you have is a powered sub, which means it uses its own amp to power it and in return takes the strain off the receiver. |

sorry about the link doent seem to be working, here is another place with the same receiver, but at a lot better price, so you wont need to stretch your budget.

H/K tend to rate their power output conservatively. The AVR146 at 40w will be more than enough. |
