    Okay, thanks everyone for the input...

    I think I'll go the Adcom route, probably just the 545 since I am bi-amping. I can always hook it up to the center or surrounds if my 150s don't like it, but I think I should be okay.

    I'm probably going to look around during the next couple of weeks, and see if I can get somewhere to listen to some good gear...and maybe a good deal will show up somewhere...

    If you play your cards out right, you can nab a 545 for.....200-250 around there.

    Second, re the 150's. Look at the specs, they are fairly efficient 8ohm speakers. No worse than the big ol' 1.2's that hoosier21 has driven with lower powered NAD gear. The fact is that Polk wouldn't produce a speaker sold at Circuit City that couldn't be driven reasonably by an average HT reciever. Give me 50wpc with a couple dbs of headroom and I'll drive those speakers allday allabout.

    If you guys think you are really using that much power, you are sadly mistaken. BDT

    Troy, you ever have any extensive hands on experience with a set of 150s?

    Based on what you said, I'm going to guess that you haven't.

    I know that on paper anyway, with their sensitivity rating it looks like they are relatively efficient. But unfortunately, that's not the way it really is.
