i am thinking of purchasing 3 pairs of the Atrium 60's http://www.polkaudio.com/homeaudio/products/multiapplication/atrium60/

and i am wondering what the best receiver would be the perfect fit. should i find one that maxes out the wattage at 125 watts per channel. (yeah i like it loud) if anyone has a similar outdoor system i would love to know what type of receiver you use and if you would recommend it. and by "type" i mean brand and model #


thanks.
Receiver: Pioneer SC-05
Amplifier: B&K 125.2 S2
Floor Standing: RTi12
Center: LSiC
Front: RT15i
Sub1: PSW1000
Sub2: PSW350
Sub3: PSW505

    Will this receiver be dedicated for the outdoor speakers only? Or do you plan on using it as part of a home theater, etc?

    I run a cheap 'ol yamaha, 60 watts I think, I nabbed up for $40 bucks I think; with some energy C-3's on the patio. Sounds suprisingly nice. I don't want to put anything too expensive out there, dust/heat/ etc.
