I plan to match this up with the Energy ESW-M8 NA 1,200-Watt Subwoofer and a Yamaha RX-V671 7.1-Channel Network AV Receiver. Any comments?

I'm using the Energy's with a Yamaha RX-V573 7.1 channel Network Receiver along with the Polk Audio PSW505 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer and 2 Sony SSF-7000 Floor-Standing 4-way Speaker with 8" Woofer. I use the Sony towers as my fronts and the Energy's as my side and back surrounds and of course the center channel is the center. The Energy's just have amazing clarity and if set up correctly are very well balanced. The Polk Sub is a great edition and puts out just the right amount of bass for my medium sized room. I'm still playing around trying to find the sweet spot for the sub but even now where it is up front next to my towers it sounds great.

Both. I'm using with an Onkyo TX-NR 717 and it has made it as good as a top on the line AV receiver that costs 5-6K. I was so impressed with the Emotiva product I bought their 1800 Watt model which costs $1600. This should make my set-up far more powerful and with much better fidelity than any stand alone AV receiver -- regardless of the price.

Richard, I am powering A-9's in the front with an A-6 center and A-7 rears with an Onkyo TX-NR 5009. There isn't much difference in wattage between the two receivers. I can only speak for the 5009 which does a fine job; I am using a pair of 140mm fans to cool the receiver- more load the more heat produced.

It all depends on what you want. Make sure the ohms are matched right. The more bass you want the more watts you want. I have a 1200watt and its only about half way up on the gain setting. Ported box.

Baig, thanks for the thought on the speakers. I'm using a brand new Onkyo 7.1ch home theater set rated 130W per channel. On top of that, I've swapped in my old Polk Audio speakers for the fronts, which are rated 150W each. So power is not the issue!

Sure thing, even better if you add a small subwoofer to the system. I have these plugged into an older Yamaha receiver along with an 8" JBL powered sub and it sounds pretty sweet!

I have a 15 x 20 foot room w/ a Polk Audio PSW10 10-Inch Monitor Series Powered Subwoofer. Bass sounds great.

It depends on what you like 12inch or 15inch subs I have mine hook up too two 12inch mtx square subs and it rocks but i would say find you TWO subs you like maybe kicker pioneer mtx or kenwoods look for at least 1000 watt max subs

Not sure which speakers you have, but your receiver looks like a brute, which makes me suspect that this little subwoofer might be a little wimpy for your setup. I'm using it with a Yamaha DSP-4100, which is a soundbar and I have a 12" B&W subwoofer to supplement for movie LFEs. Hope that helps.

I have a Denon AVR X3000.These are power hogs, but excellent, all the bass youhave ever wanted. If you are running a lowerpowered amp, best talk with Cerwin Vega, as their documentation is sketchy beyond peak handling of 400 watts.

I am running a Yamaha RXV-871 (similar to your Onkyo), a UPA-200,and UPA-500. I am also running large floor standing polk audio rti-a7's similar to yours. What I can tell you is that while my yamaha on its own was doing the job it was working vary hard to do so. The large speakers are vary demanding. The Emotiva amps are easily achieving that level of performance and more with little to no effort. As for weather or not it will rock your room; I haven't had the nerve to push it that far. Although I suspect the speakers will give up before the amps do!!!

I'm not an expert, but I went off of the 175W per channel rating when I bought this. The speakers I got were Polk Audio TSi 400's that are capable of taking 200W of power so I knew that the receiver couldn't overpower the speakers if I cranked it up.

Yes I have mine set up running power to 2 power acoustik Mofo-154x and it does the job well. A ported box is better in my opinion because the bass will sound deeper and louder than a sealed box, but this is a good amps for the subs

I have a TX-SR806 ONkyo receiver and wanted to know if a 100 watt subwoofer is good for this? I have (mirage) nano 5.0 speakers and am looking to buy a (klipsch) polk a subwoofer psw10 that puts out 100 watts. thanks

i have a Polk PSW125 Sub, that i have had for a while, it sounds great with the Klipsch Quintet 5.0 speakers, i think that any good powered sub, will do fine.

I bought the Pioneer Andrew jones designed SP--PK52FS speakers system with the powered subwoofer to match. Al speakers are very bid and work very well with this receiver. Remember the sub woofer has its own power supply. You have full control of everything regarding what the speakers do and don't have to worry about any " automatic" strange stuff happenning

Mine is hooked up to 2 150 watt crewing vega 3 way speakers and 2 300 watts audiosphere research 3 way speakers and the sub out it hooked to a power bass box. It's amazing and is louder and more powerful then anybody I know. It's been like this for 2 years now with no issues. We do loud karaoke and even if the electric guitars through it. Hope this helps.
