Thanks for all of the responses. I went out this weekend and went Silly and got a new reciever Sony STR-DA1000. It works nice for what I have. Then i bought these to accompany the rest of my system. Infinity BETA ES250 Dipole's. So what I did was I hooked up the 7.1 put the Infinities in the back and the they are firing side channels on the outside and the inside channels are working as my rear channels. The speaker has the ability to produce two seperate channels from one speaker. So that is what I did. it really sounds great!
