I'm looking for a new receiver for my HT rig. All the speakers are high efficiency and the sub woofer is self powered. So any recommendations for a low powered unit with high sound quality?
thanks.

Here's one at 50 watts per channel.

Even if you go up the food chain most HT receivers hover around 100 watts per channel. Is that too much?
