Fellas, take a breath and turn on some music. I love this hobby and learn from others and enjoy buying and selling equipment; its a bummer that nearly all threads end up being a pissing match. Obviously that wasn't my intent with this post. Keep it above board, everyone has different idea of what is expensive, what's a bargain, what brand(s) are best.... that's why so many manufacturers exist. I just wanna sell my receiver.
