My opinion is that its a more difficult task to reproduce music accurately therefore if speakers can, then quality home theater acoustics will follow.

The 6160 is closer to 110w/ch for 6 ohms, much like your 606.
The only time I've ever blown a speaker was with too much power, granted it was from some Carver mono blocks. When I speak with Gary from Paradigm he states that they don't recommend overpowering their speakers if the receiver can put out RMS levels greater than the maximum rated power of the speaker, I would imagine PSB might say the same thing.
I have 130w/ch power into speakers that are capable of 180w/ch maximum - except my centre channel which is 120w, but I never have my receiver at reference levels anyway, so perhaps neither will Brendon.

Have you compared the Polk RTi's with the PSB Beta's? I haven't, but I'm just wondering why you would consider them "much better" from a sonic standpoint.
Stereophile give the RTi line a very good review also:
