Not trying to rock the boat, but Power does not equal Loud. I mean, that if you get more power, the sounds get better and not only louder. I have gone from a receiver to Rotel separates (before 2x130 and now 2x200 wpc) and I could tell the difference right away. More power does not hurt, in the contrary.... all this is for stereo, and I am not sure if this applies to HT as well.

P.S. I live in and apt. building too.
