So I am purchasing some T90e's (Euro version of the monitor 60's) this weekend and want to make sure the reciever I have wont blow them up (or make them sound nasty). Its from a Sony Home Theater in a box system found here. The specs for the amplifier are as follows:

Amplifier
Power Consumption (in Operation) : 170 W
Power Requirements : AC 120V, 60 Hz
Audio Power Output : 900W (140w x 5 + 200w (1KHz, 10% THD)); 900W (140w x 5 + 200w (1KHz, 10% THD))

Anyone see these specs as being a problem?

I will be replacing it in the near future with a Yamaha 7.1 reciever so I can bi-amp the fronts. Yes I also realize bi-amping requires an additional amp, however the Yamaha does have pre-outs for exactly that purpose :D

    According to the specs. for the Monitor 60's and the T90E's they are rated for 20-200W per speaker, don't see why you would have a problem.
