Ah yes I know the frustration of having to wait in. We have friendly neighbours so usually something can be arranged. Once I had a neighbour sign for a car that was being delivered. Lol
Going the avr route at this stage is the cheaper option. Assuming things go swimmingly I may consider going up the chain in terms of quality. What I don't have my head around on a multi channel power amp set up (say using your 7ch nak) is how I would incorporate a simple attenuation box without having to go down an expensive multichannel preamp road.
Yes I know the naks can be very heavy. A mate has a PA Nelson pass one. That is a two man lift.
Good luck with your new toys.
