I received a Pioneer Elite SC-37 as a recent birthday gift. I have no speakers whatsoever. What "specs" of speakers should I be looking at as I have no intention to purchase additional amps, etc. Please help me understand how to match the specs of my receiver to an appropriate speaker. I of course don't want to damage a speaker by turning up the volume, nor do I want to underpower a big speaker and never realise the full potential of the speaker.
I know very little about this stuff but had looked at some Klipsch speakers online but not sure what specs to look at, etc... I will start off with 2 floor standing speakers and then later add-on 2 bookshelf speakers for the rear, a center channel, and a subwoofer. I will probably limit myself to 5.1 for now as I intend to use Zone 2 for a pair of outdoor speakers to play a separate source... or can I manage 7.1 with the receiver + have 2 speakers outside for a separate source? I would like to keep my initial 2 floor speakers around 2,000 USD (for the pair... but I have some leeway if I find a great product at a great value).
As you can tell, I am thoroughly confused! I would be happy to call someone on the telephone if they wished to further explain what I have, and what are some good brands and possible models to investigate.
