I'm actually very pleased with it.
I 'upgraded' from my H/K AVR7300 because I wanted the additional video capability that the 2308 offered. I was willing to take a hit in power handling because in my new place I have only a 2.1 setup.
The output of 100wpc is enough to drive my Infinity speakers fine, and the AutoEQ feature did a great job setting up the system.
