Newbie doing research and need assistance. Man, things have changed since I last purchased a receiver 30 years ago. Lots of fun doing my homework. I am buying for a 46" HT setup and room size is 12X30. Actual HT area will be 12X12 with remaining open area used for pool table. Originally planned on purchasing 9's and 7's for the rear but now am questioning if 15's are the way to go. Don't understand difference between 25's and 15's. Sounds like it has something to do with the subwoofer. Appears that the 25's have a powered sub but 15's do not. Is that a big deal? If I go with the 15's should I get a separate sub? What kind? Compatible? Also considering Onyko 706. Appears speakers are power hungry and need to know if this receiver is sufficient. Also plan on LSi-C for the center. Planning on purchasing refurbished rather than new. Thanks for all your input.

Merry CHRISTmas to all ...........

    You may want to re-post this in the Speakers section. This is just a thread for test messages, may not get many views/responses here. Don't know much about the 15's so I will leave that to the experts. Welcome to Club Polk btw.
