JohnK, thank you for that advice. And I expected the 906 to be able to deliver that volume of sound. It is not the case, and I am suspicious that something is not right with the receiver. But that is something I will take up with Onkyo tomorrow.

With your budge, I would think Denon's 4810 (or 4310's) is well within reach. I have the Epic80/500 package with Denon 3808. I love it. But the HEIGHT (wide's I can't do for ergonomic reasons) capabilities of the 4(3/8)10 series sounds very intriguing!
Do take a close look at Denon.

For those interested, I just happened across a new review of the Denon 4810ci. The review is very positive and links to some info on height and width channels. Cheers,

What would your recommendations be in that price range?
Pioneer Elite VSX-23TXH, before I bought my yamaha I was seriously thinking the pioneer. I could have bought one from an authorized dealer in california for $540. You have to be careful with some brands and the authorized dealer thing. Its worth a look if they didnt already buy

The only reason I didnt go with a n Onkyo 906 because people said they run super hot, like you cant put your hand on it.

I can’t speak to the Onkyo 906 specifically but I’ve run my Onkyo 3007 over 2 hours playing Goa Trance (130+ beat/minute bass) on my M80s at 100dB and it never got so hot I couldn’t hold my hand on it. As far as I can tell it doesn’t get any hotter than my Denon 2807 did FWIW.

Except to briefly listen that there was not any distortion I either spent the time outside or wearing double hearing protection when inside checking how hot the Onkyo was getting. Also learned I don’t really need outdoor speakers.

I wouldn't expect less from someone with a Vernon Pinkley avatar. I bet Lee Marvin liked his Goa Trance loud and bumping as well...
