I'm hoping it sounds at least as good (but with more power) as the amp stage on the AVR-3806. I know, high hopes... But, if it works out that way I was considering a mono version for the VP180 in the short term, and in the long term buying exaclty what I bought again but wiring it unbridged to power the four surrond/rear channels. At that point, I would sell my AVR-3806 and buy a preamp/processor instead (something similar to the Emotiva UMC-1).
