I was looking at my Yamaha CX-A5100 last night, thinking, "Man, I am just peachy with my 5.2.4 system in my 26'x22'x14' room. I can't believe these guys are wanting 16-32CH AVPs so they can spend a fortune on a bunch of speakers everywhere in their rooms after already dropping $20-30K on just the AVP!"
Of course, I'm also peachy with my $3,700 Laser PJ, while guys are wanting $25K, $60K, and $100K PJ.
I guess some people must have rooms that are like 40'x30'x15' or something.
