The most experience I've observed concerning the new Panny Digital Receivers is over at www.audiocircle.com. Check out the digital domain forum and the BolderCable manufacturesrs forum. There are lots of folks there using the Panny XR25 and XR45 for HT and 2-channel using "party mode".
Is it possible that the Panny is not happy with the load provided by your "big rig" speaker? If I remember correctly, the Panny is going to be more happy with an 8 ohm speaker.
I'll caution that, as always, these highly hyped "product of the week" might be very good values, but they generally don't hold up to truely hi-end products. I owned the Panny SA-XR45 and it was a very good reciever for $300, but it didn't hold a candle to my "real system"!!!
Enjoy,
