Playing cds on a 2 channel Sony stereo receiver with my Polk monitor 40 speakers at low-mid volume blew the receiver by overheating it. Replaced receiver. Blew that one too. They had worked for years without trouble. What kind of receiver should I get to power these speakers without fearing overheating?

    What receiver
    What speaker cable etc, etc, etc

    Seeing how you posted in the car audio section I'm crazy inquisitive.

    If by mid volume you mean half of the volume knob it is possible you're playing too loud especially if you have a bunch of bass EQd in. There's really not enough info to go on here though.
