I wasn't thinking about the qs8's and their 6ohm factor. The amp(channels 6 and 7) delivers 50w at 8ohms and 95w at 4ohms. Figure about 75w at 6ohms.

A matching set would be ideal, and I can understand why you would need that. Personally I can live with a receiver as a prepro for a long time if needed. More features(hdmi, etc) for a much lower price.

Drive safely! Lots of crazies on the road right now. Have a merry christmas and happy holidays.
