    If I may ask another question on top of my original.

    I believe all the speakers I have listed above are max 125 Watts power. My Onkyo SR606 is 90 Watts per channel. Does that mean I technically should be able to turn the receiver up the entire way without damaging the speakers? (Of course I won't do this, but I'm not sure what the technical rules are).

    Thanks,

    No you shouldn't turn them up all the way. Here's why:

    I recently bi-amped my RTi8's from my 705 receiver and there was a noticeable difference. Bass is tighter, overall sound feels stronger and I get the same volume levels from about 5 less on the volume setting.
