Stereo Speakers Stand

When looking at stereo speaker equipment, there are 'watt' ratings [eg: 50watts] and 'RMS' ratings [eg: 50watts rms] .... I'd like to know what 'RMS' is and the difference between rms and watts.

RMS is the watts rating that your speakers will output on a continuous basis.....so if your speakers are 50 watts RMS and it says that the peak power output is 75 watts it means that no matter what you are getting at least 50 but in some conditions/volume levels it can go up to 75 watts.

Updated stereo system consists of: Pioneer VSX 451 Dolby Digital amplifier, Pioneer PD-M650 6-disk CD changer, iPod hookup, 12quot; Optimus ...

I have a very old Panasonic home stereo system and some huge floor- standing speakers. I would like to replace the floor-standing speakers with some shelf speakers. What specifications should I look for to ensure that I don't destroy my system?

Thanks!

i would check the impedance for the speakers, it should be on the back where you hook them up, it should be measured in ohms and the symbol should look like a horse shoe.

My stereo broke when I was moving. I can play CDs in my computer CD drive but the sound isn't very good. Can I get good sound with better speakers or is the sound unlikely to compare to a stand-alone stereo system?

If upgrading speakers would work for my purposes, which ones would you recommend?

Please note that although I love music I am not an audiophile, so if I do buy a stand-alone stereo it's not going to be a fancy one.

your cd player in your computer is prolly way better than you can buy in just a stand alone stereo... you will just need to upgrade your speakers... if there is a best buy near you go inside and take a look at the selection... a good set of speakers would cost you between $40-100.... if your really into the sound... you could spend up to a couple hundred.. but that is not necessary.

any ideas what brands will be good to look into? I've been looking at Klipsch, Polk, Pure Acoustics and Infinity and what not and really, i haven't heard many of them to get an idea of the general sound of each brand. I dont really know where to go to test any of these out either. So i guess this question is just about other brands to consider that aren't thousands and thousands of dollars

The brands you mentioned are good brands, and have speakers in a wide range of prices. There are also many other (Bose, Jamo, AR, etc.) However, if you care about sound quality, you should audition the speakers. Even high-quality speakers sound different, and often it is only a matter of taste as to which you would prefer. If you are going to spend significant money on a good system, it is worth it to spend the time to listen to as many as you can. You might also listen to some very high-end units (you wouldn't buy) just to set a reference as to what the best sound like.
