Alright, I was supposed to be getting a Pioneer VSX-816-K
from an ebay seller. Apparently there was a mixup in the warehouse and they actually didn't have more of these in stock, but they do have a Denon AVR-1507.
They said that it is a better model that they will send out to me at no additional cost. There are two major differences that I can see right away. The Pioneer is rated at 110 per channel while the Denon is only 75. The other thing is you can specifically set the surround back channels to provide bi-amping possibilities on the Pioneer.
This unit will be powering a pair of Monitor 40's, 30's and a CS1.
What should I do? Thanks for the quick help.
