Your right, I do work at Circuit City, and got a really good deal on the speakers and reciever through dealer programs. As I stated earlier this setup would be going into a pretty big basement, which is why I was deciding on the upgraded amp power. I do plan on upgrading the rears to another set that can handle 200 watts, along with a sub.

Another question I was going to ask, was about bi-amping the fronts. The setup I am looking into will most likely be a 5.1, maybe upgrading to a 7.1 down the road. Since the RTi12's are rated at 500 watts, do you think it would be smart to use the un-used 2 channels on the amp to bi-amp the fronts to give the 400 watts? Then if I plan to upgrade to 7.1 later, I can either change it back, or purchase 2 M200's
