I am a newbie here and have a home theather question. I am moving into a new home and want to set up a 21' long by 11' wide room with inwall speakers that will be mostly for TV and movies. The room has four walls with only a staircase leaving the room. The HD tv will be on the shorter wall. Right now I have a Kenwood 5.1 receiver with 80 watts per channel and Infinity Minuettes MPS (front, center, and rear) and a self-amped 10" Infinity BU-2 subwoofer. I want to still use the subwoofer with inwall speakers. I an thinking about the MB Quart ALX6.5 IW for the front three speakers and he ALX6.5 IC for the in ceiling or in wall rear. These speakers are rated at 100 watt so how would they sound with only the 80 watt max output of the receiver? Do you guys think this would be a good setup that would sound as good and hopefully better than my current Infinity sytem?

Thanks for your input.

I have never heard those MB Quarts, but if they are the Alexxa series in-wall speakers, you can buy the same speakers (minus the MB Quart namebadge) from thespeakercompany.com (a direct to consumer subsidiary of the company that owns Denon and Marantz) for less than half the price that the MB Quarts sell for.
