I was home alone this weekend and decided to really crank the system. My Receiver is not in the best placement for ventilation (only about 1/2" all around). After about 30 minutes of listening with the receiver at 0db (which was probably well over 100db in the room) the red light came on. It was pretty hot to the touch. Called it a night after that!

Everything was fine the next day, the receiver came on with no problems. So, I think I will be in the market sometime this year for a good 3 channel power amp or 3 mono-blocks for the M80s and VP180. I think it may be asking a bit too much for the receiver to drive three 4 ohm loads and four six ohm loads.
