[QUOTE="LAV, post: 58522, member: 1123"] The RX-V459 is rated at 90 W into 8 Ohm. Looks like a fairly decent animal. Considering everything I still believe that two identical smaller receivers (in the same room as part of the same system) is impractical from a control, setup, performance and electrical perspective. An upgrade to a single well-specced receiver (with pre-outs) should do wonders. This will still leave you with the option of adding a power amp later when there's budget available to do so. I would also agree with Robert_E and do not recommend having all those speakers in either series or parallel. With spkrs in parallel the poor Yammie is going to be working its backside off, the power supply won't cope and in the long run you are likely to damage output stages. Speakers in series is never a good idea, especially if they are not identical. Having a single speaker per available channel on your existing Yamaha might already solve some issues. Try it. [/QUOTE]
