K, ta.  Do you think 100w is about right, or would smaller do (it's a
fairly
big showroom, but as you say, volumes will be fairly low).
Having problems finding reasonably priced stereo amps with that power.
A couple of hundred quid will get me a 40/60 watt stereo amp or an a/v
receiver
with 5x100W - go figure :/
Don't want a surround amp coz they tend not to sound so nice IME, for just
music.....

Yes, the diagrams did help thanks, and had managed to figure it out in the
