my older DD reciever (a kenwood vr-209) is dead silent in any mode with the volume turned up all the way....

my center chanel is an infinity cc-3, fairly sensitive, my others are Magnepan's for the front and Jamo 200's for the rears both of which are in the 80's (88db for jamo and probably less for the maggie's) for sensitivity......


I'm lurking around here because I'm trying to convince my wife that we NEED a 950 with 2 of the new monoblocks and the 750 ...my thoughts are to put the mono's on the maggies large feet and use as short a speaker wire as is possible... then run the surrounds off the 5 channel......
