Okay went a little off topic but thats ok still in need of recommendations for a receiver thanks guys.
Good evening .......
Your choice of Speakers is very good. What you want to do is to match your amplifier to the speaker's power handling at specific ohm and here's why
Generally speaking ypu can never have too much power and unless you plan on cranking your speakers up to levels that cause your ears to bleed, you typically won't have any problems.
What damages speakers a great deal more than too much power is too little power. When you really drive a pair of speakers by turning them up to a level higher than the amplifier is capable of, the amplifier will begin to clip. Clipped waveforms create great amounts of heat and can damage tweeters and midrange drivers far faster then you ever would by sending lots of high quality power to them. The best way to ensure this never happens is to always provide good, clean power by a large high quality power amplifier .
As a rule of thumb, use an amplifier rated at 1.5 to 2 times more power than a speaker's power rating. The idea is to have enough clean power to handle whatever you throw at the amp without clipping.
That being said, My recommendation would be to look at either Integra Denon or Marantz
