I'll be using an ATI 1505 five-channel amp (150+ watts/channel), an older Denon stereo receiver to drive the center back speakers (temporarily), and a Samson 700 pro-amp (350 watts/channel) for the passive subwoofer.

I'd list all my speakers, but unfortunately right now they're a bit of a hodge podge of makes and models (classic Advents and newer Polk RT's and a DIY sonotube sub w/dual 12" drivers-- I am using a regular vertical speaker for the center as I've never liked the boxy/congested sound of most so-called center channel speakers).

Really would like to get a new, identical speaker set up one day soon. Also would like to start using monoblock amps for their convenience (great soundstaging, no interference or cross-talk, and who knows how many channels the next new audio format will have). The Sherbourn monoblocks look interesting and might do the trick for driving the front left/right speakers and use the ATI for the center and surround speakers as a start.
