Excellent. Go for it. The price is right, and I'm sure that yamaha 
optimized the 50DR for the module. As far as abstract power is 
concerned, 50 watts isn't all that inferior to 100 watts. As you 
probably know, the ability to play twice as loud requires a 
logarithmic power of two, not merely twice the power. In fact, more 
power often has greater advantages for soft playing than for loud 
playing (at home, anyway), though not necessarily at this low level. 
Discounting sudden peaks and transients, which do require more power, 
most playing takes place within a range (at reasonable listening 
volumes) that 50 watts can manage as well as 100. I can't wait to 
find out how you do. Ed Morin comes through again.
