Thanks for the info FAU! I envy those B&W's...just no way to afford those at my current point in the money/life continuum. As posted earlier, I think I've decided to chance the lower power amp with my speakers. I really won't be allowed to play it at 125W anyway except when the boss leaves me alone.

I've actually demo'ed my Klipsch set up against an AR/B&W set up and the Klipsch 2-way just didn't hold up. I doubt that I could tell the difference.....I will probably upgrade some day in the far distant future. Klipsch rocks on the movie soundtracks though.

Too bad the 7125 does not have balanced inputs....that is my one real concern and could force an upgrade again some day.
