Before you go spending big bucks on amplification, thoroughly assess if you actually need more power.  How big is the room?  Listening distance?  How loud do you wish to go?  The answer to those questions will help determine if you need to spend the money on amps, or if the Marantz will suffice.  Once you get a sub or two and implement bass management, your power needs will diminish from where they are without the subs.  And you may wish to consider non Klipsch subs for that matter.

You could go with this NAD seven channel amp.  I believe they are available in your region of the world.

Seven Channel Power Amp: The power rating of 140 watts (continuous) x 7 is taken with all channels driven simultaneously into a 4Ω or 8Ω load, from 20Hz to 20kHz, at the rated distortion of 0.03% THD.  The T 977 provides a dynamic power of 230W/ch into 8Ω and 390W/ch into 4Ω.

Your desire to get seperates or better amplifier is always good sign for boosting the economy and for the quest to "Audio Nirvana". However, (1) the SR7009 has 9 discrete amplifier channels each rated 125W, 0.08% @ 8 Ohm with 98 S/N dB ratio and (2) the monster looking RF-7 II has high sensitivity of 101dB @ 2.83V / 1m i.e. very efficient and hence doesn't require to drive hard as compared to other brand speakers in this power range! When, producing deep bass, the individual discrete amplifier channel is able to cope with high demand of current and thus delivers enough power to drive for those long movie passages (RF-7 II 10" woofers deep to 2-3 ohms range, but since my Denon can handle it, I guess Marantz SR7009 should be good)

 

I've two Denon AVRs; one similar to yours in driving capacity and other with 140 watts. Both of them drives these monsters pretty well, sounding sweet and produces tight bass and shakes the floor during movie (HT setup), Stereo and Matrix 9.0 configuration.  Sometimes, I drive all of them at +10dB for few moments to couple of minutes, but that's blasting - Potentially, a path to become deaf :D !! So far no "Protection Mode" event on either of them - touch wood !!!

 

That said, I've contemplated multiple times to have seperates, but my engineering soul says that combined design is better i.e. high end AVR to reduce the signal path noise (different topic) with discrete amplifier channels. There is lots going on when designing today's high end AVRs to make sure the input-output stages of various devices are in acceptance range, good ground paths, isolated signal paths, features, etc.. Back in days, it was a necessity, while with today's technology it might not be needed! Now, if you want to drive them to their full capacity (250w RMS) then you will need a good amplifier to fulfill the job.

 

Few years ago, I had auditioned Klipsch RF-7 II and Palladiums with Marantz Reference (PM) series amplifiers/seperates and various AVRs. However, I struggled to hear the difference between high end Marantz AVR and Marantz seperates at normal level and occassional 0dB drving in a treated room.

 

For me the power is not be the big driving factor compared to how well it performs at the lowest hearing level and how it sounds. This will be different between brands and potentially between the series within a given brand.

 

All the best in your pursuit to "Audio Nirvana" !!

The money spent on an amp could go toward a good sub to round things out.

Nice amp, congrats!

 

Bluejeans has great RCA cables at very fair prices. I really like their multi channel selection with the Techflex braided jacket or sold individually. I'm sure you'll get lots of opinions on speaker wire / cables but Monoprice imo is fine for pure copper wire at great prices. I have had issues with their RCA cables in the past with ends too tight and breaking off....ymmv
