"For HT this and new Rotels are a taste of high end." on by Dekesterino
Pros: Sound quality and assortment of inputs and outputs
Cons: Multichannel inputs not assignable to a video channel - have to hit the button.
Don't sell it as a 2 channel alternative to an audiophile. Sure, better than 95% out there, but that is where the pickyness hurts it.Summary: Okay, so it doesn't have HDMI, but why the heck would anyone put their video through anything that isn't a big big bucks scaler is beyond me. Using universal and programmable remotes switching sources to my TV and the Rotel are simultaneous. Even if it DID have HDMI I would not use it. Keep the path simple.
Having to program this on screen is a bit of a pain, but it isn't like you have to do this all the time. -

Pros: clarity, power, solid design, versatility between music and movies.
Cons: tad expensive for a reciever in my book, but several manufacturers are breaking the $4-5000 barrier w/ flagship recievers not as worthy

"Great Entry Into the lower High End" on
Pros: This reciever will get you much of the way towards a true high-end system at a fraction of the cost of it's competitors. Bravo to CNET for reviewing a higher end unit that you won't find in the Big Box electronics stores. More open, airy highs, very nat
Cons: Still a reciever and not seperates. Will not get you that nth degree of detail or openness. Only five channels, but frankly that's all that most people will use or need (in most cases the 7 channel set-ups are just silly). Lacks a lot of the useless fe

"Best compromise for HT and Music" on
Pros: HT side sounds great but lacks the flexability and features of products like Denon or Onkyo. Musically it is the closest you'll get to a separates in a one box solution around 1K - Rotel has THE BEST quality and customer care in the business. It is worth

"FANTASTIC! Ignore the other review." on
Pros: Clean, full bodied, and robust. Powerful for HT and music.NO NOISE AT HT LEVEL. Sounds nice with Paradigm monitor 9's. Much more power than you think...or whats advertized.
Cons: A little on the expensive side but most nice things are. Appears other receivers at this price range have more features but the way I see it more features equal less of something else...sound and power quality which are much more important than useless fe
