John, welcome. Any receiver/amplifier can be driven into shutting down if it's driven loud enough and long enough, but this problem shouldn't be assumed. The new 3800 would be an excellent choice for you and would share the substantial 4 ohm power capability that its predecessor, the 2700, had. Other receivers in roughly the same price class that could be considered would include the Denon 3608 and Onkyo 875.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
