You could run them on. 200w amp so long as you did not turn them up beyond their max wattage.

I'm just looking at the manual and it looks like it definitely needs an amp.

What kind of amp would Knee need to drive an 80 watt system? This kind of thing is out of my realm of experience.

My speakers are about the same RMS...I plan on using this:

Marantz NR1403 5.1-channel home theater receiver at Crutchfield.com

IF I could do it all over again, I'd get that.

That looks good, but im looking for something a little cheaper. Price range for me is from 100 to 200 bucks that would still work well with my speakers.

If I get that plus RCA patch cables/ speaker wire will I have everything I need?
