I thought maybe all you guys with the fancy 3810's and such had transcended all that. We have. We just didn't want you to feel bad since you had a sucky Onkyo and stuff...

Tony, welcome. None of the Axiom speakers, including those which have been assigned a 4 ohm rating, should have any difficulty at safe home listening levels with receiver amplifiers from the major manufacturers rated in the 100-150 watt area. This certainly applies to the Yamaha that you have on order, but I'd suggest that you also consider similar Denon and Onkyo models with Audyssey MultEQ room equalization, which is more advanced than the Yamaha system. A very good buy at this time is the factory refurb(which should be at least as reliable as a brand-new unit)Onkyo 3007 available here for about $900. As to the speakers, if you're referring to the side surrounds in a 5.1 setup, you might consider using the larger QS8s.

I was thinking of dressing up as a Denon Manual for Halloween. As long as you have a friend dressed up as Batpig so you have an opponent.

Hi John,
Thank you for the info. Yes, that is a great price on a great unit. I'm not crazy about the unit only having a one year warranty though. I'll give it some thought.

Tony How much of a warranty does the Yamaha have? Most of the usual avr's mentioned only have 1 year warranties without purchasing a dealer offered/backed extended warranty.

The warranty on this model version from Yamaha is 3 years. I would not buy an extended warranty past that.

My NAD AVR has a 2 year parts and labor warranty, you would think for what I paid for it that it would have at least a 3 year! But the heavy duty monster can handle anything you want to put it through.

Nice to know, that is a good length of time for a factory warranty, hopefully the other manufacturers will follow suit, especially considering the amount of money we pay for those avr's.

Doesn't American Express extend your warranty by an additional 1 year?
