Panasonic SA-XR45 - $300

I don't think you'll find a better receiver at $1k or less than the new Panasonic SA-XR45, at $300. It's one of the "new" digital amps out there, which is the main reason to get it. Word has it that it's analog section isn't the best, and neither is it's headphone section. But you can use it's "Party Mode" and bi-amp your speakers, if you want to use it for high-qual 2 channel sound. And if you want to use it for HT duties, it has all the latest decoding software in it, and provides ample power to all channels for more HT set ups. Plus what could be better for HT than to keep that signal digital all the way 'til right before the speaker terminals.

Go look over at the Amp/Pre Asylum forum, there are a couple of threads about it there on the first page. Some guy sold $8k of equipment that made up his HT system and replaced it with the $300 Panny receiver! If that doesn't tell you how good it is, I don't know what will.

Hope this helps!
