I think they are nice rec but I never owned one.I read that some manufactures were trading features for quality.they did not say what brand.they said look for the weight difference.they can claim a 100wt rec but in reality its only 75 watts.I think harmen uses real watts.I looked at a few of there receivers.the weight were all about the same on the 7.1.I think I looked at a 50 watt & 65 just a few lbs difference.It got me thinking I have a crutchfeild mag no wts on the rec & sony makes a 100 watter 7.1 with all the features you want on sale for 600.00 if yours & that one are about the same wt.yours is a better deal.
