I finally saved up enough to buy the Triton 2's and the supersat 50's for surrounds. I already have the supersat 50c for my center (I couldn't wait)
I have my deposit down and will be picking up my new speakers on the 15th of Feb.
I had a few questions that I was hoping could be answered by the experts.
First, the reviews I have read said these speakers will work best with a mid to high end reviever. Looking at some of the prices of the receivers they review I was wondering how my receiver which is a Onkyo tx-sr806 will fair?
Specs say the Onkyo has 130 watts/channel (2ch driven) @ 8 ohms
I'm really hoping I wont have to save up for another receiver but if these speakers require more than what this receiver puts out I will make that a goal.
I also wondered about the ohm settings on my receiver. It has a setting for 4 or 6ohms. Because the Triton 2's are 8 ohm speakers I would set that to 6 ohms, correct?
Lastly, I'm using standard speaker wire for my current speakers. I'm sure if I ask the dealer he will suggest I buy expensive ones. I was just wondering if you at Goldenear recommend a certain speaker wire or a certain type of wire that works best with these speakers. After spending over 3k I dont want to cheap out on the last part of the chain but I also did not want to throw away money either.
I'm looking forward to owning this system and thanks in advance for any information that you can provide.
