What you match in a multichannel system is gain (volume) not power capability. The RSP 1066 will do this with no problem. For your rear speakers 150 watt amps should be fine. I would recommend a center channel speaker and amp the same as your fronts, but if this is just for movies go with what you got. (For serious music all the speakers and amps should be the same).
Good power ratio HT: fronts, rears, center, sub
I am looking to upgrade my HT. I have fallen in love with the McIntosh LS360 speakers with a 602 McIntosh amp.
However, the rest of my setup would be as follows:
An Adcom 7500 amp powering @ 150 watts per channel for the center channel and 4 rears and A boston acoustic sub @ 300 watts.
So would 600 x 2 stereo speakers be a bad idea when adding to only 150 watts per channels on the other 5 speakers?
I have a Rotel RSP-1066 Preamp that is capable of 7.1, but I am guessing it won't be able to properly balance the power differences since it won't know how much power each speaker is getting.
There much be some rule of thumb for 7.1 power ratios to each speaker...Help?!?!
