Play varying music ranging from damien rice, audio slave, kasabian etc
The units awesome for £220 very impressed at the clarity and volume and I've only got it hooked up to some el pantos panasonic Stand mounts.
I'm not sure on whether go for two floor standing speakers or stand mount size, I presume the floor standers would provide a punchier sound and have a wider range.
my budgets up to £150 ish if you could reccomend anything.
The unit above is only 25 watts per channel and it also has a sub output.
Would it be able to drive say 100 w floor standing speakers well? Its slowly destroying my panasonic efforts at the moment
Cheers,

I'm not doug, but i am the engineer who designed the best audio system in In car Original Equipment so may be able to comment.
You say 25watts. I assume this is RMS power and not peak. It may well struggle with the floor standers. Do you know the peak output of the unit you've just bought? From that you can then start matching it to speakers.
