Upgrading system, will this combo work?

I have a combination of Klipsch speakers bought over the past 15 years, I am upgrading my receiver and I am thinking of getting a couple more speakers. My new receiver (Denon AVR-3808CI) will have 130 watts per channel, but I don't normally crank up the volume that loud. My original speakers were KG3.2, rated at 65 watts / 250 peak. I originally had a KV1 center. 2 years ago I bought a RC7 which is now my center, a pair of RB5s, which are now combined with the KG3.2s as fronts (A+, RB15s, which are my surrounds, and the KV1 became my 6.1 rear.

I'm now thinking of moving the RB15s to the back as 7.1 rears, and getting RS-52s for my surrounds. This is all somewhat mismatched, and with 130 watts per channel, I could possibly risk destroying my KG3.2s. I do like the combination of the RB5s and 3.2, they seem to complement each other.

The 3808 has the Audessy (sp?) configuration function, hopefully that will be able to balance out some of the mismatch, although my room is not an ideal shape for a sound stage. I'm wondering if I should go another direction, use different surrounds, start over, make more changes, get rid of the 3.2s, or what....

Any comments or suggestions would be more than welcome, I appreciate any help you could provide. I primarily use this for watching TV and DVDs, with some music. I'm hoping the new TrueHD and DTS Master Audio formats will give more of a surround sound field.

You're not going to destroy your 3.2's. Mass-market receivers are not rated 'per channel' all channels driven. So right there, you're never going to get to the specified wattage. Second, you'll never hit that value anyway.. most of the time you're using only a fraction of that power. And usually a small fraction at that.

I've blasted my 3.2's with 200W of high-current amplification (Rotel) and they handled it fine.
