RE: Which HDMI 1.3a+TrueHD receiver?

I have experience with only two receivers, the Integra 5.3 and now a Pioneer SC-07. They both drove Triangle Comete and Comete es speakers well. The Pioneer has all the latest codes, HDMI, and room correction which made setup and calibration a snap and kept component clutter to a minimum.

IMO the class D Pioneer sounds much less congested and noticeably better than the already good sounding Integra before room correction. My HT space is small and irregular. After adding two more speakers for 7.1 and running the calibration the system sounds simply huge even though most of the media is still in 5.1.

I recommend a good sub, all seven matching speakers, your choice of receiver with the HDMI and room correction a must. I wouldn't be surprised if more manufactures will be offering class D amplification in their AVR designs at CES
