Is my Yamaha HTR-6190 sufficient

[Kupes]

Hey folks, newbie here.
I am in the process of setting up my home theater system I am hoping someone can offer some advice. I have been purchasing speakers when they have had really good sales.

Front Speakers: Polk Audio Monitor70 Series II 275-Watt Tower Speaker
Centre Speakers: Klipsch R25C 400-Watt Centre Speaker
Subwoofer: Klipsch R12SW or R10SW (I have not purchased this yet)
Side and Rear Speakers: Bose Cupe Speakers

I have a Yamaha HTR-6190 receiver. Is this powerful enough / sufficient to run these speakers?
Should I purchase the R12SW or R10SW subwoofer?

This is all in a dedicated theatre room 15ft x 24ft

Thanks in advance!

Not sure about the wattage question as I don't know those speakers, but for a room that size I would consider dual subs.

The wattage rating on the speaker is almost irrelevant. It does not refer to how much they require; it is how much will kill them.

I also would not mix Polk with Klipsch. Whichever main speaker you choose, go with the matching center.

For sure the larger sub, and it probably won't be enough for that room.

It will become immediately more like a movie theater when you add a decent sub or 2. For subs you should look at Rythmik, HSU, SVS, and Monolith. Good luck!

I am a newbie and really looking to enjoy movies and sports in surround sound. Does it really matter that my Klipsch C does not match my Polk L&R?

Have you listened to them yet? Only you can really say for sure. With that said...

Best case scenario=3 identical vertical speakers up front.
2nd=Center channel from same family as the left and rights
3rd=Center speaker from different family, but same manufacturer
4=Everything else. But some times you can get lucky and the timber match is close enough to make you happy.

Answer is yes it matters. That does not mean a mismatch setup doesn't work, it just isn't ideal. Matching speakers (same family or identical) gives the most seamless sound.

Yes because in 5.1 movies etc the sound pans across from left and center and right, back and forth. If the speakers have different sound across the front 3, this may sound very weird to your ears. But not everyone has good hearing so maybe this won’t matter to you.

Thank you all for your advice. I returned my Polk L&R and got the matching Klipsch speakers.
