Why 7.1?

It can do 2.0.

I know that, it's just more channel that you don't use could have been bump in power fpr channels you do use. IE given same budget you would get more power per channl in a 5.1 vs a 7.1

Oh, because it was half off when I bought it

That works too

I'll also bi-amp the floorspeakers. The center doesn't have that option, but hopefully 80watts will work.

This guy gives some pretty good reviews on the Wharfedale Diamonds.

bi amping really doesnt do a thing for you, its just really snake oil

I'd use 2 of the Fluance floorstanding speakers and one of their center channel speakers. The floorstandings have built in sub woofers that are impressive and simplify your life.
I used a full set of 7 speakers for the kids playroom since the price was so low and I was even impressed with the sound they offer.

Fluance is crap.

Not at all, they were great for the playroom for the kids. My kids are not allowed to turn the volume up anyways. You have to know your audience, not everyone wants or needs the best spec speakers on the market.
Oh, I just looked at the link, I wouldn't use those speakers personally, but the ones I did use are great.

the 'subwoofer' on those cant do much
it does not have a dedicated amp
better off with a dedicated saub
