Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Denon 3808CI and M80 Speakers

My question is really two fold. I am looking at purchasing the Denon 3808CI and I am being told from Denon it will not work with the 4 ohm M80 speakers. They said it will heat up and shutdown after a few minutes.I called Axiom and they said it will work fine. So, my first question is, does anyone here have this setup? Second questions is, for the cost of the Denon 3808CI, can I purchase a respectable pre-out and amp? Is there really that much of a difference between the separates and an A\V receiver?

Thanks, Scott...
