    specs on your amp

    110 Watt - 8 Ohm - 20 - 20000 Hz - THD 0.08 % - 7 channel(s) ( Surround ),
    140 Watt - 6 Ohm - 20 - 20000 Hz - THD 0.08 % - 7 channel(s) ( Surround )

    i dont see a 4 ohms listing. the LSi speakers are 4 ohms. but i would get a decated amp for them no matter what. the EMO amps power them well. i had my XPA-3 hooked and they sounded great!

    Are the Lsi Fx speakers highly regarded? I would love to hear the opinions of the guys out there that own these.

    not that it matters at this point, but no... Driving the lsic alone made mine run hotter than I like, while the lsi9s were pushed by the external amp. The sr7002 is not good for 4ohm loads.

    Does anyone know if my SC-35 could drive the Lsi7 package? I know that the Lsi's are 4 ohms and really need external amplification to open up, however I have heard the Lsi7's are a lot easier to drive? Any opinions? Thanks guys.
