Is this too much receiver for my speakers?

[menancyandsam]

I own JBL LX-44 speakers (rated to 150w), plus the usual aray of mid-priced surround speakers. I'm looking to buy a receiver for HT use (30%) & music only use (70%)-(by the way I like listening to Classical & to rock music & my room size is 14x30). I would also like to listen to seperate source in another room, which can be controled in the other room.

I've read great review re: Rotel 1056 and then getting a power amp to power my front speakers.

My question is are my current speakers worthy enough for the Rotel. Or maybe I should save money & get lower price receiver. Please help in selecting a proper receiver (combo). I am not an audiophile so I doubt my ears can discern any slight differences in music quality. But if I'm going to spend up to $1,500 I would want to be sure I'ts worth it.

Thank You.

The rotel is a great receiver you can't go wrong there.I don't know your speakers so i can't answer that particular question except i'll bet they will sound better w/rotel.Don't know if you'll even need an extra amp.When i got mine to power my existing speakers they sounded better than before,i since upgraded the front speakers.
