i believe it what are you going to use it for and how much you want to spend. a good 5.1 channel @100w/ch each would be a good start & good speakers to match. also a good powered sub at least 150watts min would be best or more when you don't know go big

go online to home theater magazine and read the reviews on receivers. the pioneer or onkyo receiver will be more than sufficient for your needs. the power is depending on how loud you want the system to be. most receiver today have an average power rating of around 70 to 150 watts at max. keep in mind that the higher the speaker rating on db will require less power (89 db will require more power than the one rated at 91 db). let your own ears be the judge when comparing any speakers. demo them at your local retail store with your own source of material. hope this will help you out.

unfortunately it's not like a light bulb, you might choose a light bulb based on how well light you want the room but audio doesn't work that way. in audio, wattage isn't a measure of... well, anything. depending on numerous other factors, a certain amount of amplifier wattage may be required to achieve a certain goal but wattage itself doesn't directly correlate with how much sound or how big a room the sound will fill.

there isn't enough information in your question for anyone to give you any useable response. define ''''''small hall'''''', and define ''''''big one''''''. there are standard reference levels for movies so you can use this to define your goal at least making the problem a little better defined. most home theatre systems will not reach reference levels however so depending on your definition of what is satisfactory you may not need reference levels.

if you can define the level of performance you want and you can provide information on the room dimensions and details then suggestions can be made that might satisfy your needs. arbitrary suggestions of various receivers etc doesn't really do you any good.
