well my receiver does not suffer from noticeable distortion, I can turn it up really loud and the sound is still clear. you are right about the 0.2% THD, but I bought this receiver with other reasons in mind... it supplies to my outdoor speakers, as well as my HTS. It has assignable digital inputs and component video inputs, which I needed for HDTV. And it's 100W, Dolby Pro Logic II. But if you need the utmost sound clarity at high volumes, you're friends are right ... look for something with 0.1% THD or even 0.05 %.
Most 5.1 speakers on market are either 80 or 100 W * 5, sometimes they even make the center channel 150 W . The speakers I have are all rated 100W (Fs C Rs), so in order to get full power out of the speakers you should also get a 100W receiver. If not 100 W, then at least 80W ... it depends on how loud you want them to go.
Just DON'T get a wattage for the receiver higher than the speaker's wattage... trust me, you DON'T want to blow speakers by turning the volume too high (it's happened several times to my friend, he's a music freak lol)
