I'm sure you guys get this a million times, so I'm sorry if it's a hassle. I've tried doing research into how to pick an amp, but I just can't seem to figure it out. I read that you were supposed to find an amp that supported double the wattage of your speakers, but I don't seem to be able to!
I ordered these speakers: Amazon.com: Sony SSF-5000 Floor Standing 3-way Speaker (Pair)
Am I right in thinking I need a 300 watt amp, since the speakers seem to take 150 watts? I found the Onkyo M-282 2-Channel Power Amplifier, but it's $100 more than the speaker itself, and still doesn't seem to be enough power!
Am I doing something egregiously wrong here? I really just want a basic setup for my cable box/computer. I didn't think an amp would cost more than the speakers itself.
Any help you could give or links to amps (or do I need a receiver?) would be greatly appreciated!
