Since this thread is still rolling:
I voted (hopefully with a correct interpretation) but don't remember which button I pushed, and never posted a description. I'm bi-amping with a Crown PS-200 on the HF section and a PS-400 on the LF. That's a conservative total of 290wpc @8ohms. The speakers are JBL 4345s. I've never seen the IOC lights even flicker.

More than 200... 250wpc seems to be the sweet spot for my speakers and space.

Currently, 20 watts rms ftc from a Sherwood S9500c integrated amp but may be going high power with 30 watts rms ftc with my newly repaired Sherwood SEL200 receiver. The SEL was their highend signature receiver made to compete with the Marantz 18. The companies competed on quality of design, build and, specs other than power back then. Almost all of the companies has their totl receivers power ratings in the 30-50 watt range. The 48 was 35 watts, the Sony STR6120 was about the same, the McIntosh 1700, also as well as the Fisher 500T.

I do not know the actual watts in my main system, who does?
Besides, I don't think the number (if known) matters, but perhaps in the several thousands watts?
This setup was assembled in pursuit of the best yet still affordable high musical quality at SP levels equal to electrified "live" performance.
Subs JBL SR-4718X (4ohm) driven by one CROWN MA-5002 VZ
Mains John Smith 3-way driven by one CROWN MA-3600 VZ

Mcintosh MC 302 replaced my former 50 watt amp. Big difference in base and soundstage on my speakers.
