> Need Expert opinions on Yamaha NS-P51 VS NS-P160

Hi Guys, I hope someone here can help me make a decision between these 2 Models (Yamaha NS-P51 Vs Yamaha NS-P160). I need to replace my existing Center & Surround Speaker (3 Pieces). Which model will suit my current Amp? I'm intend to use the new Yamaha Surround Speakers as Bookshelf Front satellites speakers. Here are the details

My current Amp output:
75 Watt RMS (per satellite)
150Hz – 18kHz (The satellites)
8 ohms

Both Yamahas models are the same price. I noticed that (NS-P51) has higher Wattage and Sensitivity as compared to (NS-P160). I understand a higher Sensitivity is good. However, I'm not sure about the wattage as both models seem to have a HUGE difference here.


* Option 1: Yamaha NS-P51
