Good setup? Need opinions

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and would like to get some options on my av setup. First off, I've got a yamaha aventage rx-a700, polk monitor 70s (front) a polk cs2 center and a formula BIC F-12 sub. I want to add a set of rears and was thinking monitor 60's. Did I go the right route with my receiver or am I under powering my speakers. Also, would you recommend something else for the rears. I like to listen to music pretty loud and movies just moderately loud. Plan on adding another sub as well and was curious if I should just get another formula.
Sorry for the long descriptions but not posting here before wanted to give as much info as possible.

Thanks

I loath the sound of the tweeters in Polk's lower end lines. The BIC is a good value, Yamahas are fine receivers. You say you listen to music loud, I don't know how you can stand the Polks doing so. Dreadful, and I'm not really an audio snob, there are a lot of cheap speakers which I have heard that I thought sounded fine.

Not my choice on subs or speakers - since you are Polk, then finish with Polk >
It is better than buying surrounds that have a better midrange and treble, over
your Polk set-up

Since you have a BIC, then get another one - enjoy your adventure.

Zeiglj01 thanks for your input. Is the receiver that I've chosen sufficient for the speakers I've chosen in your opinion?
