If you use an A/V receiver,make sure that it can drive a 4 ohm
speaker load continuously (same for power amps)into a stated
XXX watts into 4 ohms continuous watts RMS. The standard for A/V receivers is 8 ohms,although a lot of A/V receivers can drive a 4 ohm load.If you use (5-7) 4 ohm speakers, thats a lot of heat for a receiver.Infinity states the amp must be able to drive a 4 ohm load.The Infinity's will probably not match the sound characteristics the Klipsch's.You will want all the speakers in a home theater to sound as similar as possible. Getting sonically matching speakers may be hard? If you like the Infinity's sound for a 2 channel(stereo)system,you could keep running the Klipch's for video with a A/V receiver that has preamp level outputs for the front channels running them to a 4 ohm capable power amp.That would give you Klipch video sound 5.1-7.1 channels,and 2 channel stereo
for the Infinity's.Or match up all Infinity speakers FRT,CTR,and REARS, for it to sound right.All that said,if you go with the Infinity's,use an amp that will drive a 4 ohm speaker continuously. I would want an amp of at least 100 to 200 watts (myself) into 4 ohms for the Infinity's (the 4 ohm is very important).If you try using an 8 ohm only amp,it will most likely be damaged,and may damage the Infinity's too. Go to Infinity's support sight and look up the owners manual.I hope this helps.
