Hi all and thank for your input. I don't think I will be playing it too loud for movies, the room is not big and i got little kids and I don't want them to think that something is wrong with his dad. However, for music it can be another thing. We can listen (my wife and the kids) to music at fairly decent levels to dance a few songs every now and then, but for that I will be running at 2.1 ch. Yes, I will be adding a little fan if it get too hot.

It doesn't sound like it will catch on fire! Or damage the new speakers - that was my main concern. Thanks again and we'll see how it does.

Yeah, the A1400 would be nice, but I am buying a new 52" LCD and a blueray, so funds are running low.
