The room is not really that big Sir. Modesty aside, I just have this mentally to buy "top of the line" items if I could really afford them because I want premium quality items that are also reliable and efficient, at the same time, would last for years. Assuming I wouldn't stretch my budget for AV 8801, what would I miss, component quality-wise. with the AV 7701. Why shouldn't I buy the Onkyo PR SC 5509 instead over the Marantz? Thanks again!
