Hello, this is my first post. I've recently purchased the beginning of my home theater system. I'm on a tight budget, so its coming along in pieces. So far I have a Denon AVR-3300 receiver, Denon 2800 DVD player, LSi7 fronts (soon to be rear) and a LSiC center channel. My question is whats best for my speakers. Its my understanding that this Denon receiver could be damaging my speakers over time due to the fact that its meant to run 8ohm speakers and mine are 4ohm. I'm not to worried at this point, because I'm only running the three speakers, but after I purchase the LSi9 I know I'll need something to power all five. What can I purchase to safely run all five speakers? If possible I'd like to keep it under $1000. I'm basically using this system for home theater and not so much for music. I have to purchase a sub down the road as well, but they usually power themselves and I'm hoping to go with Velodyne. I would love to spend the time myself inventigating the options out there, but I have lost access to the internet at home and have to use my computer at work during breaks. Thats why I'm asking you. Thanks for your time!:)

    I am willing to buy used. If fact, thats my intention. I won't be purchasing one for a while, since I don't have the funds. I just want some idea's of what I should be keeping an eye out for. I just need something that will run those 4ohm speakers safe and cleanly. Thanks.
