I am using the AVR507 to power an epic 80 7.1 system and have been very happy with it. No problems driving all those speakers for movies. Did have it shut off with thermal shutdown once when my dad decided he wanted to listen to music in the garage, which is on the other side of the house...

Not enough heatsinking in one little box to really sustain those kind of levels for any long period of time but i dont think there's any reciever that could. The quality of this reciever is pretty much head and shoulders above anything "new" you can get for that price. That was the case when we got it a few years ago for some $1800 bucks or something
