I live in Canada and I have a dedicated Home Theater Room, room size is around 300 sq feet. AV8805 is the main brain in my AV setup, using Marantz MM8077 7ch, Marantz M7055 5ch, Marantz MM7025 2ch, two Bryston 3BSST and AudioLab 8000MX (center ch) for amplification. Using Celestion(7), Polk audio(12) and Dynaudio(subs x2) loudspeakers all around, total of 21 to supprt Dolby Atmos, DTS Virtual X and Auro 3D. Panasonic DPUB9000 4K Ultar BD player and Apply 4K TV for the source. Projector Sony 4K VPL-VM285ES and EluneVision Aurora 4K HDR Nano Edge 100" fixed. AV8805 is a beast and if you have room in your place, I would strongly recommend this unit to you. Once you try Pre and power combo, you will never go back to receiver. So much details and depth you will have.
