John,

I think you're right. I was thinking on acquiring the M2200s this christmas as a present.. But you're right my AVR354 has the necessary power to drive my speakers without any problem. With my current setup.. what you think will be a good Christmas present to add to my setup. My setup is a 5.1 becasue I don't have space for a 7.1 system.
