Prateek, Thank you. I purchased a Rotel two-channel preamp a couple of years ago, and it seems very accessible to me but I have not looked at their receivers. In general, though, it has seemed to me that two- channel equipment tends to be more accessible than those with higher numbers of channels where menus seem to be used more. What kind of accessibility problems did you find as you looked at other two- channel receivers?
