BigGuyOnCampus89Depends on how big your room is, but I think it would be slightly under powered. These things don't do well when pushed to their limits. Distortions, as well as heat concerns.

BigGuyOnCampus89For watching TV at normal, adult levels, it is fantastic. If you want a rockin' home theater, you'll want more.

Daed That sounds interesting, I really don't need to crank up the volume all the way up. At the moment, I'm using a teac 101DA for desktop use. I would be looking into the Klipsh R-24F floor standing speakers. Do you think this little unit will suffice?

BigGuyOnCampus89Oh yeah, dude. I just pulled up Klipsch's spec sheet for the R-24F. They're rated at 95dB sensitivity. If this is true (that's an impressively efficient speaker), you'll be able to crank out plenty of volume for TV watching. I use it with Dayton B652s which are only rated at 87dB sensitivity, and it's as loud as I've ever needed it to be in my living room for "adult listening."
I'm using that term flippantly, of course. There are loads of adults who like to crank the crap out of some Nordic death metal, and no shortage of teens who want to sit back and gently soak in some Vivaldi. To put it in better perspective, perhaps, my living room is something like 12'x20'. The kitchen/dining room is adjacent, and I've played dinner music from the living room on this amp with the aforementioned Dayton speakers with more volume than is preferable for maintaining conversation. I've turned it up enough to make verbal communication rather difficult in the living room itself. I have never turned it up more than 1/3rd of the scale.
Your speakers are rated as being MUCH more efficient than mine, but mine are 6 ohm (IIRC), and yours are 8, so my speakers can pull more power from the amp. I'm not sure precisely where that leaves us, but I'm comfortable predicting that yours will sound louder than mine from the same amp. Of course, your speakers are rated for 75W RMS, so they can take a lot more power than this amp puts out at 8 ohms (probably about 20W), but unless you want to fill a very large room with sound, or rock a party outside, 20W is sufficient for the vast majority of uses.

BigGuyOnCampus89On the other hand, if by TV setup, you mean home theater, I would recommend a proper home theater receiver. Especially if you think you might want to add more channels. The Q5 is stereo only. It will support a subwoofer, but I haven't tried the sub out. I think I read something about noise on that output, but that might have been regarding the Q5, rather than the Q5 Pro. If you want to annoy the neighbors, or provide the backing track for your garage band, you'll want more like 150W RMS per channel for those speakers.

DaedThis is perfect for a 2.1 setup regardless of what you're listening to, it does its job. It won't fill a theatre but it'll take care of a room in your house/apartment. I run mine with an earthquake nova 6.5 sub and I love it. Sub out complaints are usually bad cables...I chain my sub out to a 1 to 2rca male into a female 2 RCA line out control then to the sub, no noise.
