I've been 'raving' about this receiver in these forums for months.........
It now has the review I hoped/expected. It really is a cracking machine, and is very capable with 2 channel music, as well as movies, which is a bonus.
Buy with confidence, knowing you are purchasing one the of the best receivers under �1000, in my opinion.
I have now bought this home cinema amp and am well pleased with it. Across the front I have B&W 602�s and centre B&W CC3. The rears are Cambridge Audio S30�s. I now have to update my TV but am waiting for ones that incorporate the DVB T2 HD freeview tuner. I see Sony will be one of the first but hopefully all will follow suite shortly.
Just got for $600cdn new in the box. Sound is incredible. Feels like I'm listening to a new set of speakers. However, the remote feels big and cheap compared to my old Onkyo SR-505 and the included FM antennae is horrible. FM sounds horrible with the included antennae. I switched the antennae that came with my old Onkyo and sound was greatly improved.

I'm going to buy this amp with the B&W 685, changing the ASW608 for the better ASW610 sub.
PS US model appears to only have one set of pre-amp outputs and zero stereo audio outputs. But that's not much difference for 300 quid!!
US$920.10 in Bestbuy, INCLUDING Texas sales tax. That's about 600 quid, right?
Excellent dynamic in music and movie, plenty of details but bass a little bit soft.
Can anybody recommend a good mid-range set of speakers to compliment this amp?
I've combined this monster with 2x Kef Q5 and 1x Kef Q9 and 2x Wharfedale EVO2-8..
Really enjoy the how it totally can rock my appartement with movies.. It was great watching phantom of the opera on blu-ray.

Can the pre outs on this model be used to run the Front LR speakers through my Cyrus Pre Amp?
