Yeah ... well one needs to consider the room and the application. I get the feeling this area is more of a typical living space. So less emphasis on dynamics & imagining and more about just hearing the movie dialog and getting a sense of space. Just a guess. On point. but Mojo does get me excited ;-)

I had considered that, but that would entail bringing fronts and centers forward. And that's probably getting a little more complex than I would like. Plus we are not planning on staying in this house so I don't want to customize too much. Check out the 2nd zone for your Denon 4500

The best reference I have is Renee Alstead's Hit the Road Jack on Tidal HD. I measured the quietest bits of that tune at 82dBC. The peaks are 103dBC and it could be that my meter is not capturing the true peaks. That's a whopping 21dB of macro-dynamics. Ok, play that recording a bit lower ... the 15db of dynamic headroom Ian quotes seems like a pretty good trade-off ... no need to go totally insane (unless one wants to and can afford it).

Mojo,
Just thought of something ... we are talking about 4W at average listening level ... not quietest passage ... your not playing fair with your headroom numbers!!! Haven't ever run for office have you??

LOL! I'm not intentionally trying to snow anyone. I am incapable of doing that because I have an iron ring and took an oath. I need 4W to hear the quietest passage at 82dBC at my MLP and feel excited about it. Now you may be happy with listening to that quiet passage at 76dBC in which case you'll be happy with 128W peaks. Don't you love how transparent I am with my numbers so we can discuss them intelligently?

The 1500 can develop 2.3 times the RMS voltage of my Onk. That's 5.5 times the power. More importantly, it can source more than 10 times the peak power of my Onk. That's enough current to arc weld!
