I need (ok so want) a new AVR and need suggestions

[ratm]

I only have 3 requirements...

1. Pre-outs for my XPA-3 (must have)
2. minimum 3 hdmi inputs
3. Airplay

Right now I have a Yamaha rx-v765 which has performed perfectly for me. However, since Apple plays a big part in my house, I would like to be able to use airplay and not have to stream things thru my ATV2. I dont have a brand preference at all.

Thanks and may the force be with you...

Why not just buy an apple tv?

+1 I like using the apple tv more than the built-in version on my receiver

oh, just realized you already have an apple tv. At least that's what I assume atv2 is. What's the problem with that?

I LOVE the ATV2. In fact I have 3 of them. The wife (said sheepishly) would like to not have the "hassle" of turning on the ATV and "switching the knobs on the stereo" blah blah blah.

you could always look at a good universal remote to make things easier for her.
