Don't forget about efficiency ratings, either. That is the output of the speaker with 1 watt of input power. The higher the number, the more effective the speaker is at converting power into sound. Speakers with a high efficiency (also known as SPL) rating, will perform better with your "day in day out" receivers, such as your Sony, Pioneer, JVC, etc..... Klipsch makes a nice sounding, very efficient (like 96 dB per 1 watt) speaker. Now when you go to "real" components, such as Denon and Yamaha, you can go with a less efficient speaker, because the amps in the receivers produce much, much more power.
