    You should definitely redo the calibration. You could try bi-amping, but especially if you are driving it with your Onkyo it probably isn't going to make much (if any) difference. But if you have the speaker cable lying around, give it a shot and try it for yourself.

    I'm stilll wet behind the ear but...
    If you want more juice for all of those puppies, you need to upgrade from that 606 ( I had the 606 as well). Preouts will be needed for a real upgrade.
    I have the 806 and added the emotiva xpa-2 & xpa-3 to power my rtia5's, csia6 and some older polk rears.
    I'm ready to upgrade from the 806 when the wife is not looking.:D
