Late to the party, but I went the other way with my receiver / speakers. I got the SC-07 for what I thought was a great price (still happy about it). And then I started speaker shopping. Well the SC-07 should OFFICIALLY not be used for speakers below 6ohm. Plenty of owners on the other forum verified that it works fine. I was interested in how does it work with the M80's.

Peter thanks for confirming that it was a great setup minus some things you didn't like. I have the receiver and it isn't going back. Now I am getting the 80s \:\)

Thanks

Separate item -- it was discussed at length in this thread why receivers weren't upscaling HDMI input data when cheap DVD players / bluray players can do this.

One question on this subject (could be covered elsewhere) is it possibly cheaper to upscale the data from the disc and then output it via HDMI vs. receiving it through HDMI and then processing it?

Probably covered somewhere, but it was just a thought I had while reading this
