 SD> Well... on the topic of ohms... I have a set of DCM speakers (please

 SD> @ 8 ohms...
This reminds me a bit of Spinal Tap, where the have specially-designed
Marshalls which go to 11 instead of 10.  My reciever goes to 40.  It's not
bigger than yours, it is 100w/channel.
Anyhow, you'll probably never turn it anywhere near halfway up.  I seriously
doubt you'll have heat problems.
