RE: Compromise solution

I have the Pioneer DV 47 Ai, what do you mean drive the rears and sub?
excerpt about the unit from AVreview.com:
"...Looking at the back of the player, you will notice quite a few enticing connections for various audio/video applications. The back panel is intuitively laid out, with a slew of gold-plated RCA connectors. A rarity for players of this caliber, the DV-47Ai has a removable EIC power cord allowing philes to tweak with obscenely expensive aftermarket power cables. Video outputs include two S-video, one composite video and two component video connectors. Audio outputs include one optical digital, one coaxial digital, one analog set of RCAs, a six-channel analog output and a digital I-link connection. The optical and coaxial outputs are the most common connections to your receiver or digital processor for Dolby Digital movies or DTS music. For the all-important 5.1 audio playback, it provides six analog outputs or the I-link connector. The single I-link cable is nice, since it is much easier to hook up than the cumbersome six cables. If you have beefy audiophile-grade interconnects for your 5.1 audio connections, good luck labeling and feeding all those thick cables around your stereo rack. The drawback of I-link is that the technology is new and you will need to buy a receiver that supports the I-link connectors, like the Pioneer Elite VSX-55TXi. The only notable connection missing is a DVI or HDMI output for best connection to today’s newer digital video monitors, such as Plasma, LCD and many others..."
end of excerpt.

The sub is powered. The rears will be passive.

I have a Hafler XL 280 2 ch amp which can easily power any possible speakers #140 w/ch @ 8 ohms, 220 plus @ 4 ohms#. It sounds somewhat hard for full range stereo, so I prefer my other amps for music, although it has great control.
