I agree that there is nothing worse than listening to sounds at high volume that is loaded with distortion due to insufficient power. That is why the best thing is to get the power requirements correct first and foremost.

Personally, I think you should stick with the AVR-987 since you have 4 ohm speakers, but you could try out the AVR-887 which they sell at Circuit City and see id it will drive your speakers properly. It could save you a couple of hundred $$.

Good luck!
