I managed to pick one of these up on Saturday ahead of the FF sale. Went in tonight and had it price matched no problem.

The only problem with it I have is it does not match my RC-30's (they are Cherry Veneer). If anyone wants to trade a Cherry model for a Black model + cash let me know!

What kind of receiver goes with this speaker? I just need it to support 5.1.
Most receivers in my price range only have about 90W power per channel
which I assume it too little for this thing.

Also, I currently have an Energy Encore 5.1 setup. I'm assuming this Center
channel is way too powerful for that system (speakers handle 125 Watts).
What do you think... too much for my system to handle?

You've got it backwards... it's how much power they can handle! 90W will work fine, depending on how much you actually want to spend I'd recommend: Yamaha 6130, 6160 (HD enabled, a must if you have BR/HDDVD), Denon 789, onkyo 506, H/K 254, pioneer 1018 (these are all HD), and will run you around $500 depends on sales... if it's entry level though I'd go yamaha 6130, denon 589 or Pioneer 918, none of which do HD but will get the job done!

Also, RC-10 bookshelfs are down to $399, I picked up a pair of these last week for a stereo system, they are AWESOME.
