How much power will it take null

The bookshelf speakers handle 85 watts RMS, and 340 watts peak power.

If you have a really low amperage receiver, you may have to run it at a higher percentage to get it to be equal volume to lower power speakers (such as come with some of the home-theatre-in-a-box setups), and this can "burn out" your receiver prematurely. Any full size receiver you buy at a store (Sony, Pioneer, Yamaha, etc) should be an adequate driver, the mini receivers and mini-systems just won't be as loud.

They are rated at 85 watts per channel, my Receiver is 100W/ channel, They do very well. Peak power I believe is 340W, but don't push them harder than that.
