The polks are nice, a bit bass heavy, but nice...
However, they aren't easy to drive. Your receiver will push them fine in stereo. However, be careful trying to drive 5 or 7 of these from your receiver. The load may be more than it will handle at any mid to high volumes.
If you are thinking HT is your preference, you should have the same amp and speakers for the front 3 at least. Therefor, upgrading the amp will require a 3 channel (5 channel amps won't cost much more). Also, you won't notice much of a volume difference until you get into at least 200 watts/channel. You will notice a quality difference with most amp upgrades to a seperate amp.
I agree with the other 2 posts: Save your money and wait.
