been reading the post for a while for advice and answers to all my audio/video needs. the guys on here are really helpful. finally decided to add my 2 cents, being i actually know a little about the topic at hand,
as far as onkyo goes, i could not be any happier with my onkyo 801 running the m60's, i dont think 4 ohms, should be a problem, but then again the 801 is setup to run at 4, there are plenty of dsp's to choose from, and i have no heat problems with only a 6 inch clearence on all sides running contunious at -10 db for about 2-3 hours. my room is about 20x19 with 15 ft.ceilings and open to the loft on one side and have no problems turning up the volume and still have amazining clarity with no noticable (to my ears) distortion. however, the only complaint is the video out only upconverts to component out instead of hdmi/dvi, however i am no expert and do not know if there is a visable difference between component (r/b/g) and dvi/hdmi. plus there are more inputs on there than i could ever possiblye use. but this is about onkyo products, particularly receivers, and i dont see any problems with onkyo, nor have i experienced any. so if that helps any....
