Thank you both, I'm not trying to sound smart but I have no idea what any of that means? Everything I'm reading for the AVR-791 says that each of the 791s 7 channels are equipped with the same power amp (i.e. 90W)? Can you explain that a little more and in your opinion am I wasting my money buying the RC-62II?

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and to be honest a complete green-horn when it comes to speakers. I need some help with something I'm considering with my living room home theater setup. I am currently using a Denon AVR-791 receiver to power a 7.1 surround sound system in my living room. The system sounds pretty good, the FR, FL, SideR, SideL, RearR and RearL speakers are all ceiling mounted speakers that came with the house I recently purchased so I'm not sure what kind of speakers those are, but they sound fine to me so far. For my center speaker, I'm currently using my old Denon 75W center speaker that came with my old AVR-486 receiver purchased in 2006. It does not sound very good and so I came across someone selling a Klipsch RC-62II center speaker and I am seriously considering purchasing it to replace the center speaker I currently have. I'm a complete idiot when it comes to speaker specs, so I'm wondering if my Denon AVR-791 will be able to power the RC-62II? It looks like the RC-62II uses 150 RMS / 600W Peak and is 8 ohms compatible. If I'm reading my Denon manual correctly, it looks like the AVR-791 is rated at 90W in each of its 7 channels. So is that 90W strong enough to power the 150 RMS / 600W Peak that the Klipsch requires? Or am I completely butchering this? Please help.
