Shut up, Dude!

I am really hoping to bag one of those. WAYYYYYYY more receiver than I need, but why not! Having more than you need is the american way!

I just have to convince the wife that I need new axioms or B&W's to go with that

Wow, the deals just keep coming

Here's another outstanding buy if you're in the market for a high powered receiver at an unreal price... These compete with the Pioneer high end Elite.

Correction

weighs about 21 pounds, 150 watts X 7, interesting...

It's a digital amp, like the Harman Kardon Digital Path series.
www.harmankardon.com/specifications.aspx?Region=USA&Country=US&Language=ENG&cat=REC&ser=&prod=DPR 2005&sType=C
23lbs and retails for $1799 (can be had for closer to $900)

They are very light. I think that Sony receiver is closer to 30 lbs. I have a class D mono amp in my truck. Light, and they don't get hot. Very powerful. The distortion is rated a bit higher, but is said to be typical of digital path amps, and totally inaudible.

Here's some better specs:
