So what I gather from the last few comments is that unless you have a very large room where you need to drive the speakers really loud for good coverage, the wattage specs on a AV receiver wont matter as much if the receiver has the other features you are looking for?
I'm still trying to decide if spending $400 more for a refurbished AV receiver on A4L is worth it (Denon x3500h) for the room correction it comes with even though I would be giving up the 4k 120hz pass thru, which I likely wont ever use. Some people swear by room correction, others say its not such a game changer. I have a 9x10 space that is open on one side into a larger basement, but not sure how better room correction will do anything.
