Hi all!
First off, I should say that I am total neophyte in the hi-fi world and am looking to buy my first set-up.
The components are part of a package that goes for $1000CAD ($715USD) and are as follows: Pro-Ject Essential II (http://www.whathifi.com/pro-ject/essential-ii/review), Wharfdale Diamond 220 Bookshelfs (http://www.whathifi.com/wharfedale/diamond-220/review) and a Yahama RS300 receiver (http://www.whathifi.com/yamaha/r-s300/overview).
I was hoping to get an opinion on the receiver and if its 50W per channel would suffice. It seems a little on the light end, but then I live in a 600 sq. ft. open space condo (literally one giant room); so perhaps I don't need to blow the doors off anything. After reasonably extensive research, I have no concerns with the turntable and speakers, I just didn't want the system to be held back by a less than ideal receiver.
Thanks in advance!
