Hi,

Sorry if this isn't the right forum, it kind of fits into several categories.

I'm looking for a good starting point for a home sound system, spending pretty much the minimal amount necessary. I recently bought an Insignia 200w 2.0 stereo reciever from BestBuy, but have a question.

On the back of the reciever, it says for A or B, speakers have to be 8ohms. For A+B, speakers have to be 16ohm. My problem is this- I want to hook up multiple speakers if possible, but most floor standing speakers are only 8ohms. I want floor standing speakers over 5.1 based solely on volume. Listening to movies would be secondary to blowing my ears out with metal.

I still can take the reciever back, and BB has a 500w 5.1 A/V home theatre reciever, would this work for me? I have two 2.1 satellite speakers that are 16ohm(not to use per se, just as a reference), so I'm guessing that the 5.1 system will require 16ohm speakers as well. I've seen posts on forums where people said they bought two recievers to hook up multiple speakers, is this my only option? Are there recievers that will power multiple(4) speakers?

Thanks for any help.
