So do I understand that to mean that if used the speaker setup below, then the fronts would actually be using more power and pushing more watts than the rest of the system?

Front L/R: 100W (200W peak) @ 6 ohms (86dB sensitivity)
Center: 100W (handling) 15W-150W (operating) @ 8 ohms (89dB sensitivity)
Surrounds: 60W (100W peak) @ 8 ohms (89dB sensitivity)

PS. Does the 7100 allow me to adjust this balacing of level like Buck suggested?
