Thanks for your answer. In fact i am using Pioneer SDF3K for main. They have a sensitivity of 89 DB so 200 watts might be well overkill and the 7100 would serve me right. I bought an Onkyo TXSR 800 about 1 month ago. althought it is a very nice A/V receiver. It does not offer the flexibility of separates. So now i am in the process of deciding if i will sell the onkyo in favor of Outlaw.
