You got the Yamaha to shut down at 90 dB? I'm quite surprised. How far away from the mains was your meter and how big is the room? Were all other channels on or just the fronts? Is it well ventilated? I've ran my Denon full out for an hour at 110 dB without shut down. You're right. It is a POS . [/quote


Your Denon hardly compares to a low end Yammy, this is my whole point..its just apples to oranges.

JohnK needs to be more accurate when he subsribes that all avr's are as good as another...stateing that within power demands is misleading as most newbies have no clue what that means...also he and others should qualify such statements as it may or may not work with your speakers..i.e.,,ohms etc
