It's nice to have any review and thanks to Audioholics for getting this one up fast. I guess I was hoping for a bit more on the guts of this receiver, even some pics. I'd like to know more about the power supply (type, weight, quality) same goes for the capacitors, heat sinks etc. I'd also like to have comparisons made between similar recievers namely the Pioneer Elite VSX-54tx and the Denon AVR-3805.
I can't help but come away from that review feeling that the author would rather not talk too much about the amps in this unit. I could be totally wrong and I have to admit I've kind of ignored receiver technology for 5 yrs or so since I last researched online and ended up with a Yamaha rxv-595a. Maybe power supply, caps and amps don't matter as much these days as I seem to remember when I was first trying educate myself way back when.
Oh yeah, I'm really surprised that the "pure direct" mode doesn't provide a signal to the sub-out. Is there a good reason for this or is it a feature too expensive to include in a receiver in this price range ?
thanks for the review !
