Speaker Match for Pioneer AVR

[hosedagain]

I have a Pioneer VSX-9140TXH, power output (1kHz, 6 omhs 0.05% 1 Ch driven) 150W per channel. Was considering the Polk RTiA9 or TSi500, both on sale-boxing day. Was wondering if my receiver has enough to power these speakers. If not would a power amp help? Also considering the Paradigm Monitor 7 or 9 also on sale. The RTiA9 and TSi500 and Monitor 7 are both the same price and the Monitor 9 is about $300 more/pair I will be using 95% for movie viewing
Thanks

Enough power? It'll power them. Your receiver is only like 100w/channel 1 channel driven 20-20.

All channels driven maybe 35-40w/channel before distortion or clipping.
Spend more on your center channel, that's what you'll mostly be hearing.

Thanks for your feed back, I agree and will take your advice on the center speaker. With this receiver if I want I can also run my center channel to the front speakers as well to the center.

Your receiver can power all the speakers if you want with out any problems. An Amp would bring this to a higher level, in the future. My suggestion by the biggest speakers you can afford, and never look back.
