I have so many questions, it seems the more I research the more I learn and the more questions pop up.
Welcome to the dreaded life of a scientist, or blooming audiophiles.

Our room is 15x28 with ceiling starting at 8' and ending up at 10. We have decided on the Epic 80-600 system and have somewhat decided on a Denon AVR 4306 and the Panasonic PT-AE900U.
Lovely choices. I'm considering that Panasonic myself.

So based on the dimensions of the room, would this reciever handle these speakers without having another amp hooked up?
Yes and if you are at all concerned about turning up the volume beyond the capabilities of the receiver, that Denon has "pre out" connections such that you can hook up an external amp to power everything from just the main speakers to the rest of your system if necessary. A small addition in the future if it is needed. Otherwise, test out the setup with the receiver first. If you don't run into any distortion or clipping problems at your standard listening volumes, you are all set.
Good used amps (e.g. Anthem at 225W/channel rating) can run as little as $600 Cdn.
Sorry i can't comment on the dvd client thing.
