I will "probably" not need this advice but, I found out that my receiver doesn't have pre-amp outs (other than the sub) so I will not be able to add a power amp to this setup if I ever want to. Might not be a bad thing since I won't be able to have upgradeitis on my amp section without throwing away the money I spent on this receiver. I still have some time to return it but the next model up is too much for me to go for.

It looks like you already have your answer.

I really don't think you will NEED the preouts, my 1804 drove the M80s to 100db not as cleanly as the 3808 but it could do it. The 2309 is just fine.
As far as not having upgradeitis, it hits you when you least expect it, especially when you realize the 2309 will work great for that second system in the bedroom or livingroom, etc.

This system is for my livingroom. I don't have a dedicated TV/HT room.

Bob, you got it right; the lack of full preouts can be considered to be an advantage in that it helps avoid the temptation to blow money on an unnecessary separate amplifier.

So you think a separate amplifier is not needed. I have been reading elswhere on this site where many are looking for more power. I would have thought that 100 watts per channel would have been enough. Apparently not.
