Magnepan 12s

Help!

I am new to this and would greatly value your input. I want to buy Magepan 12s. I want to use denon 3802 reciever and 1600 dvd player. I listen primarily to music.

My question is: I have read that the maggies will not work well with japanese recievers. Has anyone been successful with this type of reciever? If not can you recommend a reciever and player for under $1000 that will work well with these speakers? I really don't want to go to seperates. Thanks for your help

I have run my MG12's with a Yamaha VX850 receiver and they sounded great. (80 watt into 8 ohms but the MG12's are 4 ohms) I have also run them with a Yamaha Pro PM2200 (380 watts @ 4 ohms) slightly different sound but very good. Now they are running on my Bryston 2B (only 60 w @8 ohms, 4 ohms ??) and I have to put them into the pain region of volume before the 2B indicates clipping once in a while. This is in a rec room that is 22' x 34'. Don't beleive the audio snobs about them requiring gobs of power, maybe they are running techno at pain levels?
