I would concur with your advice, BBIBH. If it's a really big room and you want concert-hall levels, you might be pushing a 65-watter close to its output limits on peaks, but in a 12 X 20 room, either receiver would be fine. I'd lean a little toward the Harman Kardon, but only because a recent Onkyo I used ran awfully hot, and I didn't hear the cooling fan kick in.

And thanks for the welcome.
