Arcam AVR + Tektons

Starting a home theater from scratch. Room is 14’ wide x 16’ long (open in the back) with 10’ ceilings. Speaker placement will be somewhat restricted (fireplace, shelving, big leather sectional). Want the system to be musical first - musical tastes tend to center on adult alternative/indie and rock played from my iPod.

I’m leaning toward an Arcam AVR (either the 360 or 400) for simplicity and ability to carry music and one of the Tekton home theater 5.2 set-ups (either the M-Lore or Enzo). I don’t tend to jump on the latest thing, so looking for a system that will keep me happy for a while.

Questions:
1) Is it worth the upgrade to the Arcam AVR400 (+15 wpc and beefier toroidal power)?
2) Any thoughts on the Arcam + Tekton fit?
3) Are the Enzos too much speaker for my AVR/room/needs?

Also welcome any recommendations if I seem to be veering into the woods.

I look forward to hearing the Tektons at some point. Not sure how they get the efficiency and sensitivity out of a basic driver and woofer combination.
Anyone know if anything about the crossover on these? Is it possibly some sort of simple or even crossoverless design by any chance?
