back to my original question,....will the pl340 be ok(sound quality wise) to run my home speakers, granted I will never turn it up to loud, the amp should last me a lomng time,...but with my luck, ill most likely get a lemon,..thats just how it goes for me. it will break after a month, and ill be sending it back to you 15 times over the next 6 years,...THIS is my worry, finding a RELIABLE amp. this is why im going with pro amps, as their reputation of RELIABILITY is the best,..or so ive gheard.

Also with under powered amps clipping and frying my drivers.
Arctikdeth, Why not a Krell or a levinson amp?

Good power amps are accurate. Good musicians are musical.

When you hear the POP mean voice coil hit the bottom so = deformed voice coil and it a bit too late as well. Over powering will melt your voice coil from a lack of venting as well keep this in mind
i feel comfortable with my statement and i'm sure any serious sound man will back up my statement.
http://www.energy-speakers.com/na-en/pr ... fications/ Energy suggests up to 250 watts RMS max so i would say those speakers are rated 125 watts RMS.
