I should add that is system's primary use will be for a dedicated home theater...I won't be listening to music in this room at all. Right now I'm running B&W 602 fronts with the LCR6 center and 600 rears with a Velodyne sub. I'm really looking to just get a broader soundstage and more powerful sound.

Planning on picking up a new home theater package consisting of the RF-82 II fronts, the RC-62 II center and probably the RS-52 II surrounds. I'm currently running an older Marantz SR5000 at 70w per channel with my current B&W bookshelf theater. I was wondering if I needed to upgrade my receiver to run the new speaks. If so, how much power do I need to look for and are there any recommendations? I'm not looking to spend a great deal of money on a new receiver if I can avoid it.
