    I'd go with more power.. your 1120k only puts out like 35w/channel at full bore, and 100w/channel in stereo. It should sound decent, but if you want the most out of them, get external amplification.
    Main Surround -
    Epson 8350 Projector/ Elite Screens 120" / Pioneer Elite SC-35 / Sunfire Signature / Focal Chorus 716s / Focal Chorus CC / Polk MC80 / Polk PSW150 sub

    Bedroom - Sharp Aquos 70" 650 / Pioneer SC-1222k / Polk RT-55 / Polk CS-250

    Den - Rotel RSP-1068 / Threshold CAS-2 / Boston VR-M60 / BDP-05FD

    LOL.....if you live in Canada, Future Shop merchandised 160 of the A9s at $799/pair on Boxing Day......technically not a giveaway, but the next closest thing. :)

    I was one of the fortunate to get my hands on a pair......now I have to decide if my Yamaha RX V1800 will suffice or whether a pre out is required.
    HDTV: Pioneer Kuro 5020
    AVR: Yamaha RX-V1800
    Center: Polk CSiA6
    Fronts: Polk RTiA9's
    Surrounds: Polk RTiA3
    Blu Ray: Sony BDP S370

    Why? I have not heard the 5's, but have heard the 7's and 9's, not all that different other than it takes a lot more power to drive the 9's properly and they have mo' bass.
