Welcome to the site Billy. As others have mentioned, great choice on the 4.0 for powering the Polks. That amp is a powerhouse and should drive them well.
Anyone that gets large speakers shipped on a pallet and then leaves the boxes in his bedroom belongs here
Welcome Wileysdad. From your opening story it sounds like you have finally found your home on this site. Great people here and loads of technical information. Just remember....it's never really a problem when you can't quite figure out how to hook up 4 Carver amps to one pair of speakers
Welcome!! As others have said, you will soon find out that this site is different from others. No one here will judge or compare systems. Besides, Kevin (The pusher) will be along soon to kick your OCCD into high gear
Welcome UncleMeat. Your first paragraph in your opening message is spot on about this group. I recently joined as well and this is a great place to be.
Welcome to the site Mark. Great info to be found here. Just a word of warning though, this site can cause your system to double in size within the first couple of weeks!!!
Well.......we are going to be building a new house and moving next year. Let's just say I can't be held responsible for any misplaced knick-knacks during the move
Thanks....LOVE it. Had a Denon AVR-4800 prior the the SC-35. Denon finally died on me and I read some great stuff on the Pioneer Elite line. Great HT receiver. Amp section does well, but don't be surprised if you see some Carver amps pushing the fronts in the future
