I'm new here so please forgive me if I'm inn the wrong area. I upgraded my speakers to Energy RC70's, Energy LCR and Energy Veritas rear surrounds. I have a Denon 889 now and it sounds great as the new speakers break in however I am not sure it will be able to fully utilize the abilities of these new speakers. The towers are rated to 250watts 8-4 ohms and 95 ohms sensitivity. When I briefly turn the volume up to 0 on the Denon the speakers sound very nice but are not loud enough. Does this Denon have to power needed to push these new speakers?Its running pretty warm and I'm afraid to push it much past 0. Was told maybe to go to a receiver with 140 watts rated per channel. I listen to Blu Ray concerts mostly in 5.1 Dont have 7.1 set up.Thoughts please ? Perhaps something like a Yamaha RX-V3900?
