Hi All..I am moving to a condo soon, space is a premium and I cannot afford to go seperate.
I am looking at some decent receivers in the market looks like Pioneer Elite SC75/77/79 has the best amp session in its class. 135 wpc @ 8ohm and 230 wpc @4ohm... also sabre32 bit dac lookings very promising.
My living room is small, 12'x10' and I listen to everything at medium volume at most. Can this receiver power the ESL with justice if not the best?

Other options I am looking at are Denon X4000...

2nd question: What subwoofer crossover do you recommend for the main and center? (MCACC only supports 1 sub crossover) I am thinking about around 80hz..

I have Grotto I as sub.
 
In addition to the power/performance specs and the specs for the DAC, pay special attention to the surround processor in the receiver. There is some really great value out there, but you need to know what to look for. Take a moment to read this article, which begins on page 28.
