The OP's receiver does 120 watts per channel, enough to drive the Maggies and the center. For $2,500, you could do a system consisting of 1.6s (L,R) and the center channel CC3. Then you can add a REL sub and wing wall Maggies as desired. We had a local dealer that had a room around 16 by 20 where these same speakers were used with a Sony SXRD and a Pioneer Elite receiver. He would show great concert DVDs and the sound quality was superb. I recently got my brother to buy a pair of 1.6s on my recommendation and he uses a Denon 5800 receiver which works very well and has a plasma screen between the speakers and Maggie wing walls on the side. Again, great sound quality and the room is around 15 by 20 feet so not too far off. Be careful with the tile floor, that is really bad for sound. You should factor in some rugs. One silver lining however is the tile can be good for anchoring a nice equipment stand. Also, do not skimp on speaker cable and interconnect, they make a difference. PM me if you need recommendations. http://reviews.cnet.com/av-receivers...tag=mncol;rnav
