Hi,
Here's a LINK to a useful calculator to see how loud a given amplfier power will drive speakers in your room. For Home Theater use 2 or 3 speakers since the rears never really contibute to the maximum volume..

Try different powers (10W, 100W, 200W etc) remembering that:
- 10dB louder is percieved as twice as loud
- 3dB louder is noticable to the ear
- Reference level is 105 Db peaks at your listening point (115 db for the bass)
Easy to see why people love their 200W+ amplifiers!
