LS50 + Amp Power

Yet another LS50 thread...  My apologies :).  Quick question on power ratings.  I have a Pioneer VSX1120k which provides 120w to L & R.  I've read a few threads about power "quality" and I wondered what I might be missing.  Does the Pioneer supply well rated power? 

The 1120k has pre outs so I could technically drive L/R with a separate amp (center too as I have this in a HT setup).  Wondering what everyone thinks?  I've been looking at Outlaw audio or Emotiva.

I have a 6ohm impedence on my amp, wondering if I could use that with the LS50s?

I never got my LS50s to sound good hooked up to cheaper gear.

LoL.  Is this where we're headed?!  Nose down to "$300 AVR"  "cheaper gear", "You need to spend atleast $5k in gear".  

C'mon this isn't in the spirit of why were all here... 

Seriously though, just looking for a budget minded solution to a problem I think I might have.  I don't need a $5k 2 channel power amp.
