Thanks everyone for the advice,I appreciate it and it is educational.A friend has offered to sell me a pioneer VSX-1325 .Does anyone know anything about this receiver and is it a major upgrade from my Yammy.Thanks

Thanks everyone for the advice.It is looking as if my receiver just cant handle the job.It is a drag as it is only three months old.Looks like I had better start saving again..

Hey I am new to the world of home audio.At Christmas time I purchased a pair of rf-82 fronts,an rc-62 centre,a pair of rs-45 surrounds and a Martin Logan sub.I also had a Yamaha HTR-5063 receiver bought for me.The sound is great but at high volume the receiver is overheating and shutting off.I have left lots of space above the receiver but it didnt help.Do you think the receiver is not powerfull enough for the system and will the shutting off damage the speakers.Please advise ...thanks
