looks like its the height i need for it to fit. handles up to 125 watts. Is this doable with my amp at 200? or just plug it into the avr?
is it a decent center?:confused:

    125W is actually a lot. 200W from your amp is the max. normally, I doubt you will run more than 50% of your amp.

    as long as you don't do anything stupid with the volume knob, you'll be fine

    keep in mind being stupid with the volume knob while underpowering a speaker is far worse that with overpowering one......so stupidity with the volume knob is an issue no matter what






    long and short, avoid driving them to noise and distortion and you should be fine

    Personally, I think it will get lost sitting in the middle of those RTI 10's. You might have to boost the speaker levels on that center to keep the front soundstage coherant. Even then, I still think it may be too small. How big is the room ?
