I was thinking about upgrading my cs1 to a cs2, but my receiver is a yamaha vx-665 which is 90W per channel. The CS2 has a recommended power range of 20-175W. Does anyone here run a CS2 with a similar wattage? Thanks.

    I also run a CS2 with my 806, 130W per channel, but of course that is the rating at only two channels driven, and is an overstatement as most power ratings are. You will be fine, get you some!!
