Marantz 6003 +Monoblocks MA 700

HI i am about to purchase the marantz 6003 and i need a answer to a question as i am not sure .
Since my fron speakers are some energy rc 70 towers speakers i am afraid that for stereo in pure direct the 6003 will not have enough power.
Can i use two MA 700 Monoblocks to amplify ONLY THE 2 FRONT CHANELS?????, and the surrounds + center with no extra amplification.
Thank you .

Yes you can. You will use the L+R front preouts from the receiver to the monoblocks.

Sure you can do that. I prefer to have my front soundstage(L-C-R) with the same amplification and let my receiver power the surrounds. With your configuration, you have the left and right channels at 200w and your center and surrounds at no more than about 120w each. I know wattage doesn't mean everything, but having a seamless transition in the front soundstage is very important to most. Why not try (3) MA-700's L-C-R and have receiver handle surrounds.
