You got the Yamaha to shut down at 90 dB? I'm quite surprised. How far away from the mains was your meter and how big is the room? Were all other channels on or just the fronts? Is it well ventilated? I've ran my Denon full out for an hour at 110 dB without shut down. You're right. It is a POS  .

Your Denon hardly compares to a low end Yammy, this is my whole point..its just apples to oranges.
JohnK needs to be more accurate when he subsribes that all avr's are as good as another...stateing that within power demands is misleading as most newbies have no clue what that means...also he and others should qualify such statements as it may or may not work with your speakers..i.e.,,ohms etc

Secondly,I am not surprised that the Yammy shutdown! You guys do not realise how much oompph it takes to power the M80's up to full potential, these are full blown hardcore audiophile speaks in lambs clothing, if you haven't had the pleasure of hearing these speakers at full song on a big amp....just dream baby..its bliss.

I just posted a review on the Yamaha with more details. I ended up getting it to play louder setting the mains to small.

I've had that pleasure. A former forum member had 5 M80s, a pair of QS8 side surrounds, and two EP600s in his 7.2 system. All but the subs were powered by Parasound Halos. He listened to music so loudly -- we're talking 100dB + all the time -- that the beefy amps were a necessity.
Listening habits and the efficiency of your speakers are two very important factors to consider when choosing an amp, for sure.
