Hi James

I'm not sure which Panasonic receiver you have there, but my experience with Pannies is that they are underrated overachievers. I picked up an SX940 while I awaited delivery of some nOhr monoblocks and although the Pannie ran a bit warm it sounded terrific. I was shocked. The Panasonic SX25/45 all digitally amped receivers are giant killers and sound terrific.

Which Panasonic do you have?
