Don't be fooled by the low wattage of HK receivers. They're continous high-current. It can even surpass the performance of a 75watts receivers.
Regarding heat, just make sure there's proper gap for the vents so that the receiver can breath easily. I had no problem with my hk's heat. Even straight 6 hours dvd viewing at -13db
kimps, i would suggest that you go for the higher model. anyway pangmatagalang gamit naman yan, so sulit yung dagdag mo. as long as it makes the difference, then go for it.
with the new plan (going for harman/kardon avr2550)
sacrifice muna ibang speakers, baka i'll buy fronts muna.
aside from wharfedale/DTX anong maganda/mura na floorstanders.

korek ka dyan ICB!...kaya mag Denon ka na! tapos B&W..hehehe...nakabili ka ba kanina?
More and more people in PinoyDVD are junking their setups (B&W, Mission, etc) in favor of Monitor Audios...
I've just auditioned them last week... and they are good!
The entry level Bronze series is the best bang for the buck speakers that I've auditioned... The entry level B1 starts at less than 10K while the B2 is just a tad above 11K.
While the mid range Silver series is mind blowing! Damn... The problem is that the bookshelf speakers is priced at 25K! The sound clarity is very good and is leaps beyond the Bronze series.
I didn't have the balls to audition the Gold series though... baka hindi ako masatisfy sa Silver or Bronze series kapag bumili na ako... hehehe...
if you're looking for very good AV receivers, i suggest you do some research and find models which are certified to supply equal, true continouous power to all channels in demand....
most of the models out in the market are not capable of doing this... these models claim that their amps can supply high wattage (100++ watts) of equal power to all channels... but in reality, this only happens mostly for the front channels...
the situation worsens when there is a need for all channels to be driven at high levels... the fronts drop down to 70-80 watts (out of 100++) and the surrounds even worse to about 35-40 watts only...

so how will you know that the receiver is capable of supplying equal, true continuous power to all channels in demand?
