How about using a Denon AVR5800 with Martin Logans

JC,
That's not true, before I bought my present 2/5 channel set up I had a Denon 2700, that drove 2 sequel's, a Logos, and 2 scripts in the rear. Never shut the receiver down once! wasn't real dynamic, but it worked.

Okay, I'll say it again, it works! I also was doubtful about what the manual said. Also, the newer Logans are much better when dipping down at the higher frequencies. A lot of people when referring to the "drop" are remembering the CLS's I never had a problem driving the ML's. You also have to remember that manual is written for the average Joe, who most likely does not know what impedance loads are. If I had not tried it myself, and followed only what the manual stated I would still be in doubt.

Jc, I agree it's not the best route to go. I only used it temporarily until I went to my present system which is of course seperate components. I'm using a Levinson 335 for the front 2 channels and a B&K 7250 for the center and rears, and of course they blow the Denon away! I read the other posts. I was only referring to him being able to run the speakers. If it's affordable he needs to go to seperates. I'm not trying to debate you, I was just giving my opinion on that portion of the thread.
