Help, is 15 watts p/c enough for a small room


I need a vintage amp / receiver for my den which is about 12' x 12' w/ 8' ceiling. Does anyone have an opinion about w/p/c ? Looking at a nice Pioneer sx 450 on ebay for $96 which incl. shipping. 15 wpc

Having owned this receiver I'd say it is under-powered when I used Energy Xl-16 spks. I'd personally would pass at that price. I once sold this receiver at a stereo shop I worked at a long time ago. Compared to a Harmon Kardon 330i, the difference in power was night and day. The HK was 20w per channel if I remember correctly. I'd look at something else. Prices are really going up on Ebay and shipping is expensive. Hard to find the deals. But they are still out there, just not as plentiful.
