Here is the link with the new info about the 8500

I'm upgrading from the 2400 which I do enjoy. I really like the new DVI switching of the Marantz. Does anyone had the opportunity to hear both these receivers? I guess it might be too soon to ask about the 8500. The 8500 is rated at 110 watts per, but I believe the Yammy might be over rated @120 per. My preference is musical abilities of the receivers.
Thanks!
