Consumer Reports' December 2004 issue rates this receiver second only to the Onkyo TX-SR701, which sells for almost 3 times as much. The Panasonic is one of the newer receivers with a "digital" amp. People say this runs cooler and more efficiently, and can rival analog amps that are more expensive. Does anyone have any experience with this receiver or the others in this line (SA-XR25, SA-XR75)? It sure sounds like an inexpensive but decent receiver for home theater and for music!

Thanks,
