Hey I just want to thank everyone for their input. I finally got that the denon off of the floor and into a stand with lots of free air above it. I can play it as loud as I want and it hasn't shut down.

denon recievers are awesome but if I was to do it again I would definitely check out separates (amps, mono, preamp ect) as opposed to 'JUST' looking for the perfect AVR

The clarity of my system especially on dvd concerts is simply outstanding. I am in love with these speakers and when i blew my tweeters, i had new ones in a couple of days.

Thanx AXIOM!!!! ( you definitely have a satisfied customer in thunder bay!)
