Onkyo 507 or something else?

Would the 507 do good with these:
Polk Audio Monitor 60
Polk Audio CS2
Polk Audio PSW10

I haven't picked out rear speakers yet, but i assume the 507 would have enough power for the setup i'm looking at? I'll probably upgrade to possibly a bigger sub in the future. And replace the "Polk Audio Monitor 60" with something else. Or would i be better off going for the 607? Or any other suggestions?

The 507 is a good receiver, but to future proof yourself you may want the 607 instead. The 507 is only 5.1 whereas the 607 is 7.2. I thought I'd be fine with 5.1, but I ended up going back to 7.1. I just felt like I was missing something when watching my 7.1 movies.

Good point, but not sure if i want to have a 7.2 system. Perhaps a 5.2 system, but if i went with the 507 i would need a y splitter for the subs. But would the 507 be powerfull enough to do that?

As long as your subs have onboard amps, the receiver will be fine.

[lojack1976]

Yeah, the 507 has ample power so as long as you don't plan to go with 7-channel surround it should do just fine.

I still only plan on doing 5.1. But would a 605 be better or would the 507 be a better choice. I know the 605 has a little higher Watts per channel.
