That's pretty interesting. By that model the 1000 is perfect for this room. I was pretty sure it was. Thanks.
FWIW I watched the first 2 episodes of Band of Brothers in 3.0 and episodes 3 and 4 in 5.0 last night and at no time did the towers seem strained. I'm pretty impressed by how well they handle extreme jumps in SPL while remaining clear and detailed.
I still need to work on the room but these towers were everything I was hoping they would be.
The second amp may still happen but only if I upgrade from my RX-A1010 to a dedicated 9 or 11 channel pre/pro.
