The yamaha says 95x7 but it will probably be closer to 50 watts when all 7 channels are driven.

The marantz will be more musical sounding and IMO would tame a little of the brighter sound that the B&W 600 series has, and open them up a little more. All receivers have the auto cal feature now, I think...

Sounds like your dealer is giving you sound advise.
Thank you Callas. So the Marantz will be the best choice in this price range? (there are many more to chose from, like Denon, H/K )
