Want amp for future although I have a problem

[Canada]

One you can help me with the other you can't

1st: The problem you are unable to help me with, cash flow

2nd: The problem you can help me with is I want an external amp. My problem is my speakers.

my 683 are rated at 200W unclipped
my 686 are rated at 100W unclipped

should I go with the max output of my mains or should I go with the max output of the surrounds.

Also I have a Pioneer Elite that's 110W not all channels driven and the Rotel I am looking is 100W all channels driven so the Rotel will have more power, but how much.

What is 110W at Pioneers W rating as opposed to 100W all channels driven.

Any amp 150-200w or higher will do, your surrounds will never see the full power of the amp. My Rotels are 160w and they kick...
