    I bought this unit and used it with my monoprice speakers that I was considering to throw away. Best decision ever!! I’m not really experienced when it comes to receivers as I have always used surround sound systems. So I did not have a cooling fan ready for this receiver. The heating of the system after a few hrs of use was the only disappointing thing for me.
