Thanks for the input, all.
Mojo: When I first got into Home Theater it was explained to me that 0 is what the material was Mastered for. Turning it up into + territory risks clipping, so as far as I'm concerned -0 = Max Volume. If this incorrect feel free to educate me.
How do I know I'm running out of power? I turn it up to -0 and it's not loud enough.
And for reference the HT Room in my old house was a converted study, and it came in at about 1,350 cubic feet, and I was 7.5 feet from the screen.
In the new house it's a large living room with 12 foot ceilings. It measures about 7,750 cubic feet and I'm 12 feet from the screen. (I also need a bigger TV!)
I used to run movies at -12dB
Now I watch movies at -0.
Anyway... If anyone else has suggestions for favorite Recievers I'd love to hear them.
Thanks
Byron
