Rotel 1067 vs. Denon 3805?

I want to replace my old Onkyo 70x5 receiver. I've been looking at the Rotel 1067 and the Denon 3805. Which receiver would be a good match for me? Any other quality receiver suggestions in this price range would be appreciated.

My requirements:
I want 7.1 capability with 3 sets of component inputs or upconverting of S-video. My husband and I are movie fans and rarely listen to music. We have a large open living room, 17x21, with cathedral ceilings going up to 18'. The living room has a large unclosable opening to the kitchen at one end (open floor plan).

My equipment:
We're using my husband's older 6 ohm Cerwin Vega RE-25 for the mains. (These will one day be upgraded when space allows to floorstanding towers.) My center is a B&W HTM1. The rears are B&W Nautilus 805s. I currently do not have a sub but can get a LOT of bass out of those CVs. Adding a sub after I get a good HT A/V receiver will also be on my TO DO list.

I hear people talking about B&W speakers being "power hungry". I'm not exactly sure how much is enough. My Onkyo is only 70wpc and my speakers sound good but I have no other receiver to compare against.

Since I do have B&Ws, I want to get a HT A/V receiver that will provide enough juice. Will the Denon 3805 do this? I guess I'm asking is the Denon 3805 a good match for my speakers and my 99% movie watching.
