Will the Cambridage CXR200 AVR work well with the 707s in a LSiM 7.2 set up?

120 watts RMS per channel, 8 ohms (all 7 channels driven)

And has a "low flux audiophile-grade toroidal transformer", etc.:

    Cambridge is nice looking unit. There are more knowledgeable members who are going to give you better info, my 2 cents:
    I ran 705's with a Yamaha 3020 150wpc I thought it sounded good. I recently started running the 705's with Parasound P5 & A21 250wpc, 705's sound much better (705 rated max 250w). The LSiM's like power. Your 707's are rated up to 300w. They will run w/the Cambridge, depending on size & layout of your room, treatments, wiring, shelves/stands, listening position, ambient noise, time of day, power quality, music genres & humidity they will run better with more power.
