AV Receiver and Speaker Advice

[Slogan]

Hi guys, just wanting some friendly advice regarding a new audio setup. I recently purchased a Samsung UE55JU6800 and have decided to take the plunge to get something a bit better than the TV's audio.

I'm going in at entry-level 2.0 (not too bothered about Surround Sound) so it won't be anything mind blowing but I just wanted to run it by someone before I pull the trigger and purchase. I was ready to purchase it all yesterday but then I started reading about Power Outputs, ohms, Impedance and my head felt like it had caved in after about 20 minutes. And the doubt crept in.

I had the following in mind:

AV Receiver: Denon AVRX520BT
Speakers: Yamaha NSF51

From what I understand, the speakers are 6 ohms and require 80 Watts (Nominal Input) whilst the AV Receiver's Power Output is rated at 90 W for (6 ohm, 1 kHz, 0.7% 2ch Drive). The Denon product page said it would drive 6 ohm speakers but it didn't say how well.

Two questions really:

- Are these okay to be paired together?
- If I wanted to add a subwoofer at a later date for 2.1, does this have an impact on the impedance?

Any criticism or suggestion for change is welcome!

Thanks

lucid, first of all thanks for taking the time to make such a detailed reply, it's genuinely appreciated. I have read that much recently it's hard to know what is fact and what is fiction!

I much prefer floorstanders and I understand what you're saying, particularly when it comes to unclear voices in films. Whilst almost any audio setup would probably be a significant improvement for me, I would like to get something decent rather than having it triggering the need to "upgrade" in a few months.

Will certainly check out those recommendations as well.
