Hello Revmike,
Hope you are well. I have a Harman/Kardon AVR 630 which is a fantastic reciever very similar to the Denon 3805 in features and in the same price range. I bought mine from Vanns.com, currently they are selling them for $819.86. H/K modestly rates this model at 75watts per 7 channels, but this is a hefty high current reciever weighing in at a back breaking 41 pounds. The Denon 3805 weighs in at 37.48 pounds.
Feature for feature the two are very similar.
In my 18x12 room you can easily achieve unbearable SPLs, if you are in another room, no problem just turn it up. I have never had to turn it up past -15 on the dial.
It is well worth a look.
Later,
TonyM
