Now that I've purchased a new system...While I was looking for new equipment I was reminded, by a number of "experts", to be sure that the amp could drive the speakers I chose. I was given a long scientific explanation as to how to determine the speakers and amp were properly matched...certain speakers required higher wattage amps to perform properly. In layman's terms, how does a person determine what amp works best with what speaker? Does one go by the Power Handling specs that the speaker manufacturer post. (If the Power Handling specs are 50W-150W does this mean that you need an amp with a 50 watt output, minimum?)
