Call me a heretic if you want, What is missing from the receiver line-up is a mid-priced unit that ignores all video and spends all its bucks giving you the best possible sound value.
Some people don't need for (or care if) them or their wives or children might have to press two (gasp !!) buttons maybe even on two different remote controls (gasp ! gasp!) to change a video function.
Would I pay two thirds the price of a Yamaha RX-V 4600 for a unit that sounds that good but the only composite plug is for the OSD ? You bet your remote control !! Give me something in the $ 600 to $ 1300 range that had the Dolbies and the DTSes and some way to upgrade to keep up with them, but keep the video someplace else !!! Let me run sounds to the sound thingamajiggy and video to the video thingamajiggy. Give me the best possible of each functions without paying for redundant capability.
Sound is not video. Video is not sound. Never the two should meet !!!
