QRX 9001 + Sansui x8900 newbie question help

[charles18721]

Hey everyone,

I have a restored Sansui QRX 9001 coming in the mail this week and after searching online for a clear answer I'm still not sure how my idea would turn out. I have a chance to buy 4 Sansui x8900 speakers which have a max power rating of 220W. I can't find the sensitivity spec anywhere, so I'm wondering, with the 9001 putting out 60W RMS in four channel mode, are these baby's too much? Am I even asking the right question? Name brands and speaker types aside what is a good match for this receiver as far as power? I see people running all kinds of different set ups with the 9001, so it's hard to make sense of what will maximize it's capabilities. Any comments would be appreciated. I am aware of the general consensus on Sansui speakers, but I don't mind em.

I believe most speakers of that type are efficient enough for lower power amps.

Those speakers will be just fine with a QRX-9001. They can handle more than the QRX can throw at them, and that's all that's really important if you know you like the way they sound.
