So my receiver died last week, luckily it was still during boxing week though so I managed to snag a good deal on a new on at FS 
Anyway, I purchased the new receiver, but for now I have just hooked up the speakers from my old home theatre setup. I know little to nothing about matching speakers to receivers, so I was wondering if someone with more knowledge might take a look at these specs, and maybe offer some insight as to how my current speakers may be underperforming given the new receiver, and what sort of specs I might want to look for when purchasing new speakers (on top of adding 2 more to go from a 5.1 to 7.1 setup of course).
Here are the specs on my current speakers:
Speakers Front Rear Speaker speaker Type 2 Way 3 Speaker 1 Way 1 Speaker Impedance 4 Ω 4 Ω Rated Input Power 155 W 155 W Max. Input Power 310 W 310 W Net Dimensions (W x H x D) 280 x 1200 x 280 mm 98 x 225 x 90 mm Net Weight 4.5 kg 0.8 kg Speakers Center Passive Speaker Subwoofer Type 2 Way 3 Speaker 1Way1Speaker Impedance 4 Ω 3 Ω Rated Input Power 155 W 225 W Max.
