Thanks mate . I love this AVR's sound quality , thats why I want to hold on to it . Thanks a lot for your input . I really appreciate your time . Cheers mate . Emmany IME avrs don't have particular sound quality, and use several different ones currently. Much more about particular dsp options than inherent "sound quality". If you want to do a nice diy speaker project that's where your digital actual bi-amping capabilities would be an advantage....maybe (depends on design/execution, hard to beat the pros)
