Like I said in the above quote from the archives, 95dB's and above I did notice a difference. I never said there isn't a difference did I? The majority of the time I'm not listening to music at insane volumes, so I decided the extra headroom was just that, extra, and not being used often enough.

For all HT movie needs, and most music requirements, the Denon alone is adequate at 130 watts/ch. I don't see a problem in asking people how large the room is, and their listening styles for music. Why have them spend all that extra money for power they will most likely never touch for most situations. I guess I don't want to mislead people.
