Looking forward to hearing what you've got to say on the matter.

The Pioneer VSX-1016TXV is another inexpensive but incredibly performing AV receiver

I believe it streets around $400 so a bit more expensive than the HK or panny, but it also has a strong following over at AVSForums.  The great feature of this receiver is that it has auto room calibration.  I demo'd a pioneer Elite unit a year or so ago (before I bought the panasonic) and the auto calibration was pretty amazing.  But I then demo'd the panny and was sold on it after just one evening with it in my theater.

The HKs usually street starting in the $600s and up.  I don't think they even make a $400 model.

One thing for sure, stay away from Bose.  I looked hard at a lot of their stuff and it always came up short for 3x the price.

That might as well by the Bose marketing line.  Yet people still buy that garbage.   :dunno
