Well a friend of mine brought over his 10 gauge speaker wire and it shut down after a couple of minutes with the back speakers turned on. it runs fine with the back speakers turned off though. So it looks like I am sending this unit back it is under warranty but I still am going to buy a new one. So if you had $2000 what would you buy for an AV to power your 7.1? I guess I dont care if its seperates or not I just want the best for my money. Im thinking Denon or Integra but would like the forums input. Thanks
