Thanks for the tips and help everybody, I'll calibrate the system and if need be, upgrade at a later (or sooner) date. I will say whenever the reciever was hot I did have the music at a much louder level than it normally would be, but you know how it goes, every now and again you just have to crank it up a little.
I stopped by Best Buy and Circuit City on the way home from work today and just took a peek at the Yahamas, HKs, and Onkyos and noticed that all of the recievers that were on was warm to the touch so maybe it isn't a big deal.
