in 2 Channel Audio
Would the little sx680 push a pair of OHM e2 small 2 way speakers ok. Not looking for a big sound. Lite listening. I did a little research & figured id ask your opinions. TIA

    Sure she will. Don't let the lower watts per channel numbers fool you. Those old vintage receivers had some pretty beefy power supplies.

    I had a sx-1250 pushing my SDA's for a small time. It did fine until I pushed the volume. It couldn't supply the needed low end but at low to normal listening seemed to run fine. Never got hot but I could push it into protection mode pretty easily when I started rotating that volume knob. The Pioneer was all original and never had any work or upgrades. I think you will be fine since you stated "lite listening".

    Just hooked them up & very nice little speaker. Tweets stand out nicely IMO. Didnt play with the button on back yet. k5m5ohlrdy42.jpg

    Not the best OHM ive heard but perfect for a small listening area. The little sx seems to push them nicely
