KEF 2005.2 + Harman Kardon 135?


I recently purchased a set of 5.1 KEF 2005.2 speakers, and my dealer suggested matching them with a Harmon Kardon 135 receiver. I've hooked everything up, and I'm a little concerned that that receiver isn't pumping enough juice to the speakers, as it's only 45 watts per channel and I've read the KEFs require a lot of power.

I know HK pushes a lot of current despite the wattage rating, but can anyone who knows these speakers offer somce sage advice? And if I need to switch up, what would be a better receiver for ~$500?

Thanks--

Thank you for the input. I'll take a look at the HK 330 (actually, looks like there's a 335 too) when they get it into the showroom. The mic-assisted automatic level setting tech looks pretty sweet.
