New here... was reading posts about not enough power to safely drive speakers. I just purchased the following.

Polk Tsi 300's fronts
Polk CS20 Center
PSW125 Sub
and I will be using Rc60i for the rear
Onkyo TX-SR507 @ 80W per channel

Is this enough power to drive this setup?

Thanks

    You'll be just fine. The TSi's are pretty easy to drive.

    The 507 will be plenty good for your setup. The 300's have an operating range of 20-150W and even though the 507 doesn't really put out 80W a channel to all channels (specs. are with only 2 channels driven) it will still be enough for what you have. Unfortunately the 507 lacks pre-outs for adding an external amp, so you will be limited in your upgrade options in the future if you wanted to push more power to the 300's. Good start, looks like you put together a solid HT, and welcome to Club Polk, where we can spend your money faster than you can make it, lol.
