My concerns relate to how true the specs are on the reciever (numbers bloated or not). My Onkyo SR500 is rated at 65 watts by the Manufacturer. But in 5 speaker usage its more like 35 watts per channel.

Also many higher priced speakers have scores of different options for speakers settings and outputs which some/many lower priced recievers don't.

My reciever has a 80 - 100 - 120 frequency cutoff setting for all speakers but nothing for each individual speaker.

And I only have multi-channel input not output

Time to upgrade and grab that Kenwood vr-6070 at work

how do you connect the 5 channels from the reciever to the amp?
Most recievers over the $500 mark come with whats called PreOuts (preamp-level signal outputs). These bypass the internal amps and are used to reroute the signal to external amps. Whether or not sub-500 dollar recievers carry this, I could not say. But give a look-see and check.
