Forgive me all of you accomplished audiophiles, I'm trying to decide between two receivers and need to make sure I am not missing anything basic on the role of the A/V reciever. It has always been my thought that the most important function has been to power the speaker system and distribute the sound properly. Now with HDMI connections and the like, does the reciever do anything to either improve or degrade the video signal as it goes through it? If so, what features really matter? I'd prefer more clean power over connection bells and whistles.
