Will the Yamaha RX-V450 receiver be sufficient enough for my home theatre setup?

My Setup: 2 front Polk Audio RTi8 towers, CSi3 centre speaker, and 2 polk fxi3 surround(rear) speakers, and a sub, prolly veoldyne 10' i will add later. also, will add 6th rear speaker after too.

will the Yamaha RX-V450 power these speakers enough and will they be used to their capacity?

im 80% going to use the HT for dvd watching

If it really puts out 85watts/channel you should be fine.

Looking at this though I'm not sure I would trust that rating :shocked:

Looks like the V440 only puts out 34 watts, not the 75 advertised.

You should still probably be ok if you don't push them too hard, but if you're planning on playing them loudly I'd be kind of worried about clipping.
