floor standing speakers for surrounds?

I am running a pioneer elite 92txh... i bring it down to about -8 on the volume and it is way loud...well not so much way loud as the treble is crazy high and listening to movies at a higher level get a little painful to my ears when the highs hit. the receiver early heats up even after 3 hours of lord of the rings... it has the room correction... i use it.
my dedicated room is 25 by 25. concrete block with drywall inside and comercial carpet.

Dam spell correct.. i ment to write my receiver BARELY heats up even after 3 hours of the lord of the rings movie.

Waste of money. You will never get it 'right'. Check out Floyd Toole's book, 'Sound Reproduction'. He will convince you of the folly of your quest.

I found an anthem statement p5 amp and purchased it. It might be a damn shame to use the two channels(amp) just for bookshelf speakers. also i have a few extra speakers and was going to experiment with 7.1 instead of 5.1... which channel should i amp with the anthem? the side two or rear two?

thanks
Bill
