do you have the speakers set to small autoboy? Everything is crossed over at 80hz I'd like to keep the audio components to a reasonable price level. The whole system was done with bang for the buck in mind.

AB, the cause or causes of what you've observed would first have to take into account the actual sound level at which this occurs. -6dB on the receiver doesn't really determine the sound level and an SPL meter should be used to determine the actual level so that some conclusions can be drawn as to whether the receiver or a speaker is inadequate or defective.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Except for the room obviously.

My brother chimed in and says that even after 3 hours of LOTR two towers, the NAD was only slightly warm to the touch.

Does he still have the speaker harshness or has he learned to listen at lower volume levels till he gets an external amp.
I doubt the NAD would ever get hot, they are very well built units.
