Which new speakers did you choose again ? I'm asking because not all of the receivers are known to be happy driving 4 ohm loads at high power.
M60ti, VP180, QS8, M2ti, EP500, PC-Plus 20-39 M5HP, M40ti, Sierra-1 LFR1100 active, ADA1500-4 and -8

I can only talk about the denon's, because I was looking at those too. The main difference between the 3806 and 3805 is the 3806 has 2xhdmi inputs and XM radio ready. If those aren't important to you, you can get a great deal on the 3805. (As low as $750 new)

which yamaha, which pioneer
What speakers?
Generally, Denon, Yamaha, Pioneer basically comes down to features, and some sound difference
Rotel, I have no experience with it, would love to try it though, and its basically more respectable with power and handling 4 ohm loads like the m80's. Supposed to have a nice clear brighter sound.
If you are driving anything less then m80's, any of the rest will do. But, that being said, the 3805/3806, and Yamaha 4600 will handle the 80's just fine as well. See, not a very straight forward answer. Even some of the pioneers could handle the m80's in the right room.
Room size? Music taste? How "loud"?

I have the m60's in a bigger room than yours with the Denon 2805 and it is plenty loud, especially for movies. Unless you like insane volumes, you probably don't need the m80's
The M80's and M60's are very similar, the M80's just can go louder, not to say the M60's could not make you go deaf

In your 12 x 19 room. Are you seated facing the 12 or 19 wall?
