You may want to check out the Panasonic SA-XR "all-digital" receivers. They're not that much more, but they use similar technology to the T-amp. They have a cult-like following. Just make sure to send the signal to them digitally - I believe they have both coax and optical inputs. Their analog section isn't what they're known for. You can even use the unused channels for biamping I believe. -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'
