HELP ! Which receiver fits my system

[abstruz]

I recently purchased two LSI-25 Polks , LSI-C , PSW PRO 600 sub and Polk recommends using a 4ohm receiver but after reading some threads and a post from the Audioholics they say a high end 8 ohm will do fine. So now which receiver to buy ? Does anyone have any suggestions or maybe the same set up on which receiver works best with the Polk LSI-25's ~ on both sides of the spectrum music and movies . Thanks for your time it'll be greatly aprreciated. :

What is your budget ?

I would look at going with something like the Yamaha RX-V665 or 765 and use its pre-outs with one of the 5 channel amps from Emotiva. This would give the Polks the power they should have to realize their full potential.

The LSI's can be pretty demanding. Especially if your using all LSI's with a receiver.

Thanks for your time and I would like to keep it in the 2g range and the amp ~ is there a certain model I should look for like power , size , etc. ? I really appreciate your help kinda of new at this or with a higher end speaker just got a great deal on the Polk's at Fry's for 400 a peice NEW ! They were closing them out so couldn't pass it up ~

If i can help you in anyway like in HVAC department let me know I'll do whatever I can to help !

Id look at the emotiva xpa5, paired with an avr that has the features you need along the preouts. The LSi series need a beefy / stout amp section.

For 2 g, you can consider separates:

as pre-processor plus

http://emotiva.com/xpa5.shtm and
http://emotiva.com/upa2.shtm

That will get you all the latest HD audio/video processing plus 7 channels of high power amps for your 4 ohm Polks.
