Anyway just like the OP, I'm replacing a pretty old receiver, a Kenwood VR-6050 that has served me very well for the past 8 or so years, but I need the connectivity of a newer receiver (recently bought a PS3 and an HDTV).

My question is more about the receiver/speaker power relationship. I really like the 1610, and it has pretty much everything I need. The only concern for me is the wattage per channel. I'm running a 5.1 setup with two JBL e30s (60W nominal, 200 max), two JBL e10s (50/200), a Wharfedale center channel and a JBL PB10 sub. Am I at risk of underpowering the speakers with the 1610? Or given my setup (which is also in a pretty small room.. about 12'X15') do you think it will be just fine? Or am I looking at the wrong metrics altogether?

Thanks for reading, I'd appreciate any opinions.
