Sorry if the question is noobish. Not sure whether this is something to worry or not.

I owned a Harman Kardon HS300 which came with HKTS7 speakers. The HS300 blown last week so I bought a Marantz SR6005 but now im not sure if the speakers is compatible with the Marantz AVR as I am confused with the power difference...

HKTS 7 Speakers
Nominal Power: 10 Watt RMS
Peak Power Handling: 80 Watt


Marantz SR6005 AVR
Power Output (8 Ohm) 110W (20Hz - 20kHz, 0.08% THD, 2ch driven) x7

should be fine provided you don't play too loud

or should be provide "please make ur monthly bill lower!haha"joke oni!

more power, no problem
not enough power, will be problem

1. note that 110W is power output with 2 channels driven; with all channels driven the amp probably cannot put out more than 30W, but even that will be more than enough
2. assuming the speakers are not very efficient (85db/w/m) and you are sitting 3m away from them, you need no more than 20W per channel to be listening at reference level (85dbSPL) [reference]
3. chances are your normal listening will not require more than 16W per channel

as mpyw said, lack of power is more of a danger to any system

Yeahhhh~~~ Thanks all for replying!

I'd hooked up the system and it took me 2 hours + to set everything. When I completed the Audyssey setup, the sound is not even close to HS300 when I thought SR6005 should be more superior than Harman Kardon HS300 =_=||| had to manually readjust everything to make it sound louder.

And now I am facing another problem. The AV Receiver omitting static sound. I'd check all connection to make sure nothing loose but the static sound is still there? Anything else I can do? Googled and found something called 'Ground Loop Eliminator' but I am not sure if that will fix the problem.

again...

Make sure the ohm rating is compatible. I think ur AVR can select between 4ohm/8ohm/etc.
