What home theater power amplifier would you recommend for this speaker set?

So here is my set of speakers:

I'm not sure I understand, you have listed what appears to be three different sets of main speakers and one subwoofer. Are you planning to use some of these as surrounds or is that you are planning to choose one of the set of three you listed? Also, what about a center speaker?

I've never been a big fan of Cerwin Vega but I admit I probably have not heard a set in nearly 30 years. The speakers in the links you provided look pretty nice so I definitely need to get out and audition some of these. These are highly efficient speakers which means you can power them with just about anything. Pioneer has been getting good reviews recently with their receivers as has Onkyo. Personally I have always been a Denon fan for receivers. I don't use one myself because I use Anthem separates but I have a lot of friends with Denon. Even though with your speakers you don't need the higher power I would stay with the 3311 or higher just because Denon's build quality seems to be considerably better in their higher lines. http://www.usa.denon.com/ProductDetails/5340.asp

Especially if you opt for the cls-215, you don't need the power but if you were to combine an external amplifier like the Emotiva XPA-3 http://www.emotiva.com/xpa3.shtm with the Denon receiver you could have one serious system. Those speakers have a 97 dB efficiency rating so at 200 watts you're looking at 120 dB 200w/1meter. The receiver's built in power is in theory just a few dB less but receivers typically don't have an adequate power supply to really provide their rated power all channels driven like the Emotiva does.

Just looking over the Cerwin Vega web site it doesn't look like they have any adequate center speakers to keep up with their mains. You may have to look into something else for the center. Of course for all practical purposes you should do ok with one of their centers but for really cranking it the center just wouldn't keep up.
