Any decent quality 5.1-7.1 AV Receiver with around 100W per channel, or even less, 8 ohm speaker impedance (standard), and a subwoofer pre-out should be fine.

Almost all receivers, today, have these features.

What are you going to use for a center speaker?

well my plasma states thats its speakers can be used as center channel (sony ke-mx37a1).

you say 100 watts per channel but the 201s are stated to be 120 watts. so dont i need a 120 watt receiver?

and will a 6 ohm receiver do because i have thought of onkyo tx-sr503.

if not can u suggest a suitable receiver?

Had to post this as "Anonymous" as I attempted to change my user profile and now can't reactive my account.

The Onkyo TX-SR503 has a speaker impedance of 6 ohms OR HIGHER (pg 16 of the manual). So it should work with 8 ohm speakers.

You do not need any more power (watts) than your speakers are rated for, so anything 120W or less will work. As I read the Onkyo's manual (which is easily downloaded from their web site) the North American version of the 503 is rated at 75W per channel which is more than adequate unless you want to blow out your windows, in which case you will need better and more powerful speakers.

Have you bought those bose speakers yet? if not look at other stuff. But I would strongly suggest the panasonic XR55, as it's only 230 shipped from amazon.com. Or maybe check refurbished harman kardon 135, or 130.
