You convinced me, hereafter I'm only going to be listening to my Tympani IVAs powered by an Onkyo TX8511 (which BTW does a fairly decent job with my MMGs).
From crutchfield.com:
"For high-end stereo sound at a remarkably down-to-earth price, check out this impressive receiver from Onkyo! Boasting 100 watts x 2 channels of clean, high-current power, the TX-8511 is a dream come true for music lovers everywhere. Onkyo is famous the world over for their low-impedance amplifier design — and a look inside this model reveals why.
Onkyo pays attention to detail in every aspect of construction. The transformer: oversized and shielded for maximum power capacity and stability, and minimum hum. The filter capacitor: oversized for clean sound during your music's most demanding dynamic peaks. The cast aluminum heat sink: oversized for efficient heat dissipation, and thus longer life from your receiver. Discrete outputs: designed to run cooler, and to keep your music cleaner, under high-volume, low-impedance conditions. Anti-resonant chassis and aluminum front panel: highly rigid to fight distortion-causing resonance."
