<font color='#000000'>Thanks Gene,
I am looking for some of the features that this unit has -predominantly in the video switching - would the Pre-amp section of this unit be an upgrade sound-wise from my HK AVR-8000? Or at least an equal? (If not I can always go a different route for video switching.) (I'm bi-amping my mains with Anthem PVA-2 & 5)</font>
