What would be in your own opinion the best sub for such a setup? I plan on getting a second sub someday, but for the moment I would only have one.

The SC-37 is designed to run at a high level without amps. If you were to add an amp to that avr, I would suggest that you do a 3 channel by 200. I don't think you'll get much (or any) benefit by adding a 105 watt amp (effectively by-passing the 140 watt amps you purchased with the 37). The amps aren't additive, rather it's either/or. Ok now I see...amps don't add... Then would 140 wpc from the SC-37 enough for my speaker setup? There RMS is respectively: RB-81 150watt, RS62 150watt, RC64 200watt, RF83 250watt Even 200 wpc don't seem that much.....maybe a 3-channel 300wpc amp for the RC-64 and RF83s would be better then?

Ok so if I bypass the SC-37 internal Amp, this mean overall I get 200 wpc at the end, not 340 wpc total (140 from the SC-37 + 200 from the Outlaw) If so, would 200 wpc be enough for my RC-64 (200W RMS / 800W Peak) and my RF-83s (250W RMS / 1000W Peak) or should I better go with a 3 channel Amp with something around 300 wpc ?

Would the Pioneer Elite SC-37 processor (140 wpc X7, 8 ohm, class D) combined with a Outlaw 7700 Amp (200 wpc X7, 8ohm, class AB) work to power a 7 speakers setup (2x RF-83, RC-64, 2x RS-62, 2x RB-81) And first of all, is a class D amp processor to be compatible with a class AB amp?

In another setup option.... Would a Pioneer sc-37 (140 wpc x7, 8 ohm, class-D) be compatible with a Anthem VPA-7 amplifier (105 wpc x7, 8 ohm, class AB). would it be too much/ not enough....damn I need to do my classes

First of all, thanks to everybody for the quick advices! I'll probably check elsewhere for the sub(s)...performance (vs price) must prime. I may go with RB-81 instead of RF-63 for rears as well...my decision isn't made on this one... I plan to buy an Pioneer Elite SC-37 receiver (140W x 7 channels, 8 ohms, direct amp). I see that some people run the same set of speakers (RMS are between 150 to 250 watt per speaker, all 8 ohms compatible) without an amp with this receiver. Should I still add an amp(s) to maximize the performance (aka to reach the RMS) ? As you probably guessed already, I'm really new with all this....I'm a bit mixed up with the watts, ohms, etc... So If needed, I see that many people trust the Emotiva XPA-2 and XPA-5 If I'm not wrong, I would then set up the Amps this way: XPA-2 (2x 300watt, 8ohm, for the RF-83s) XPA-5 (5x 200watt, 8ohm, for the RC-64, RS-62s and RB-81s) Would I need another Amp for the sub(s)?

What do you think of this set up for a home theater: front: 2X RF-83 center: RC-64 surround: 2X RS-62 rear: 2X RF-63 Sub 1: RT-12d Sub 2: RSW-15 Would RF-63 as rears would be too much? What about the subs? I heard the Klipsch subs maybe not the first choices in term of performance....
