This would make a fantastic wedding present for us....however I'm sure the wife to-be wouldn't agree.

Thank you for all the above comments. I shall try my amp at 4ohms and see what effect it has to the level of heat generated.

Based on that. I have Sony STR VA555ES and run it with B&W 602 s3 at the fronts. LCR 60 s3 front centre and rear centre plus 601s3 as surrounds. I set my system to 8 ohms. Would I be better setting it to 4ohms, as the receiver does generate a lot of heat even at low volumes? B&W do say that the...
