That makes me feel like such a n00b. I usually watch movies at 25-35 out of 80 on my Onkyo TX-NR509. At 35 some movies are definitely too loud for me.

I've sometimes wondered if I need more power. I guess I don't!

(I'm about 7 feet from my front speakers, Energy V5.1s and a V-Mini-C.)

Thanks for the review and thanks for the avalanche of great content the last few weeks.
