Monitor 65t v 75t and Receiver Help

First post, could use some help :) Looking to start entry level system for new house.

Two Options I'm considering for 5.1 surround system:

Monitor 65t
Monitor 15c
PSW10
RC80i (wife doesn't want surround speakers so compromising with these in ceiling ones)
Yamaha Rx-V575 or V475 (open to other suggestions)

OR

Monitor 75t
Monitor 25c
PSW10
RC80i
Yamaha Rx-V575 or V475 (open to other suggestions)

The receiver I'm still a bit lost, I read another thread on here that bi-amping was useless from AV receiver, but also read a crutchfield artical that said if you have a 7.1 system with rears being unsused that it would provide benefit to bi-amp the fronts. If this isn't true I would prefer the Yamaha Rx-v475 as there is no power downgrade to that model from the 575.
Link: http://www.crutchfield.com/learn/blogs/av_tips/archive/2008/04/23/are-you-sitting-on-a-wealth-of-untapped-power.aspx

Would I want to spend the extra for the 75t/25c? Is there a big leap in sound quality, etc? I know this is a tough quesiton to ask. Also from everything I'm reading on the 75t's I'm not positive the low end receivers I'm looking at would be able to power without distortion. I'm wondering if the 65 would sound better overall since the receiver I'm looking at is lower end and would be able to power the 65t better than the 75t if that makes sense.

I would appreciate any advice on the 65t/15c vs 75t/25c and decent receiver to handle.

Thanks so much!

    Newegg has the Monitor 70's on sale almost every week for $300.00 a pair w free shipping or something very near that. The larger center CS1or CS2 is on sale weekly too. You neen to sign up w Newegg email blast for saving codes to work. Mine sound great with a Marantz SR5001. 90 watt. Reciever. If you get a Reciever with pre outs you could always add an amp later to make them really sing. That sub is a baby. Many better choices out there. Good luck. D
