What amp could power tower fronts center and rear channels?

Center: http://www.partsexpress.com/projectshowcas...m?project=UniCC

not sure on rears but guessing no more then 40 rms needed?

This is my first 5.1 build. I built 2 bookshelf desktop speakers and they came out great. Just not sure about amplification.

How much do you have to spend?

400 - 600

I would lurk on Audiogon for a separate preamp/processor and amp combo...

So what do i need? preamp and a receiver? preamp is for signal or crossovers?

[JimJ 11]

Just for the signal processing.

Crossovers are in the speakers...

Pioneer receivers are good; I used to own a Pioneer Elite receiver.

If you are interested, I have some speakers for sale...

A dorm is way too small to make 5.1 worth it, IMO.

Unless you have an extraordinarily accommodating roommate who'll let you place speakers wherever you want...

Even then, not ideal in bang for the buck either. Spend it all on two instead

two nice towers and a sub? sounds like a good idea
