Which Receiver for Sonus Cremona Auditors

Thanks for helping. I just purchased a pair of Cremona auditors with the center Domus. The Cremona center is just to big. Ultimately we are putting together a surround sound system with a 50 inch plasma TV. It will also be our system for music mostly jazz and classical.

Our room is about 20 by 20, an apartment in NYC, so we can never really turn the volume up to loud.

Here goes: 1) I'm thinking a REL sub. The best I can get in a small package (my spouse would be happy with no sub). 2) For the rear surround sound speakers I find the Sonus Domus just to big for our space. I would like some small black rear speakers that I could put on top of our upright piano that is directly behind the sofa where we watch TV. and finally 3) Which surround sound receiver do I need to really get the auditors to sound great. Remember I can't really crank it up. Money is not a major concern though I thought the price of the Cremona sub was nuts and I don't see getting a receiver much above 3k

Thanks again

You need the best amplification you can afford in order to take full advantage of the speakers. If I had to go multichannel, I would choose a RMB-1077 Amplifier with either a Rotel pre/pro or an Audio Refinement processor (~ within your budget).
I second the idea "no speakers on the piano."
SF also makes "wall" speakers, you might want to consider those.
Good luck.
