Speaker advice....

****SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POST - I ORIGINALLY POSTED THIS IS ANOTHER SECTION****


First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who welcomed me and responded to my previous posts. I know some people are here to make a buck - I'm here to do some research and am an amateur novice audiophile. I recently purchased a Polk RM6005 speaker set from c.c. I needed to get mount style speakers and was on a limited budget. I researched them and listened to them. They serve my purposes and I got them (the kicker of the story) for $129.99. They were mismarked as an open box buy on display and were actually a new set sealed in the box. The manager told me he had to honor that price. I was ecstatic and have enjoyed them for about a month now. I find my receiver (yamaha rx-v595) having to be cranked up pretty high to get the same effect from my previous speakers and am now considering an amplifier or a 7.1 set-up (due to some of yur advice I've decided against a 6.1 set-up). What would you guys recommend?

I called Polk and asked if they sold seperate rm6005 speakers (they do not). But, they said the RM6751 is comparable and fits the specs and looks of the 6005's. Does anyone have experience with these speakers? If so, without telling me that I need to get a whole new set-up, what other speakers might work well?

Thanks again for all your help and I look forward to hearing your advice.
