Receiver question (power, ohms, eek...)

<font color='#000000'>So, here is the gig... I posted this one AudioReveiw.com and havent gotten any help. (maybe I'm a little impatient, but its been around 18 hours ;))

First off - this is my first post, and I'm a total n00b when it comes to audio. Here is the set up.

My room is ~ 15X18 - with a 3x4 out-cropping on the end behind the system, (4) 6-0'-6-0' windows, and a 10 foot opening on one side to a 14x20 foot dining room/entry.

The opening will be to the side of the system and all, save one of the windows are behind or in line with the seating area.

Annoying the neighbors isn’t an issue, I couldn’t get the speakers loud enough for them to hear - so think of the joy, not of the pain


Now for the questions…

After 2 days of reading, and auditioning multiple systems at various stores, I've all but decided to get the Axiom Epic 80 system. &nbsp;I'm sure this is adequate, but is it too much? Would the Epic 60 be good enough? Or a different system all together?

If I go with the E80, what A/V receiver should I go with? I was informed (by Brent from Axiom, who was very helpful by the way) that the Sony DE7ES (as a Sony employee I get a discount) wouldn’t run the M80's because they ran at 4 ohms. What receiver do I need? What do I need to look for in a receiver to power them?

I think that just about covers it. Please chime in with any other information you might think I'll find useful…

Thanks!!

<font color='#008080'>First of all, the Sony would indeed run the Axiom M80ti(s) just fine unless you are planning on maxing out the system for extended periods. However, I would say that for you the M60s would be plenty with that receiver. Spring for the EP350 sub if you can, though - and ABSOLUTELY make sure you get the VP150 center channel regardless of what mains you get.</font>
