    The Denon or the Marantz PM7001, both at 70 wpc, should be able to drive the 12's to moderate listening levels. Personally, I'd go for the Marantz.
    HT/2-channel Rig: Sony 50” LCD TV; Toshiba HD-A2 DVD player; Emotiva LMC-1 pre/pro; Rogue Audio M-120 monoblocks (modded); Placette RVC; Emotiva LPA-1 amp; Bada HD-22 tube CDP (modded); VMPS Tower II SE (fronts); DIY Clearwave Dynamic 4CC (center); Wharfedale Opus Tri-Surrounds (rear); and VMPS 215 sub

    you think that PM17 at 60wpc could not do the job? it's really far more expensive and it should carry more detailed sound.. or not?
    you would prefer PM7001 anyhow?

    can you get a hold to a denon pma 2000ivr ? it has more than enough current to drive the speakers. 80 watts 8 ohm/160 watts 4 ohm.
