Thanks for the reply, I currently have a DENAVR3311.. you're probably right. I will try them out with this receiver and see how it goes.. Its probably going to be fine..
I personally have a denon 4100 avr, rated at 125 x7, but its closer to 81 or 82 w x 7 ch. During watching blurays with all 7 speakers playing, my setup (Infinity beta 50s FR FL, Beta 360c C, 4 Ifinity in walls for surr. ) its plenty Loud! With music, I listen in 2 ch. Stereo, now thats closer to the 125w x 2 as my fronts are all 8 ohms.
Stereo music plays clean, loud, and clear, on my 4100 in 2ch Stereo. Give your 3311 a shot, I think youll be surprised how good your new Paradigm 85s will sound paired with it! Especially seeing the 3311 has the exact same power ratings as my 4100w...
If after that, you still think you need more power. You can buy a 2 ch amp, but I doubt it.
