Good alround reciever

Pros: Heavy in weight, great sound

Cons: None thus far

Review: This is an amazing reciever. Best of all it does 6 channel stereo, so that you can utilize the rear speakers at full volume rather than simply a surround channel. The receiver is heavy, so it is not light and skimpy. The sound is great, very little distortion. Great buy!!
