Ray,
Even though the BP's are rated at 90db, they can be described as power hungry. Your receiver should have more than enough power to run them though. The speakers rating is simply a maximum wattage rating.
The questions may come out of how you are running these speakers. Are you using 2 of the 7 channels for the second zone? Keep in mind that all 7 run off the same power supply and zone 2 may sound better/livelier when zone 1 is not in use.
The other issue is the zone 2 volume. Most receivers will have a built in limit on volume. You may need to adjust the max setting by 10db and see if there is a difference (assuming that's how it works).
