NuForce AVP17 vs any other brand
I am interested in replacing my 10 year old av receiver with separates. One of the SSP's that has caught my interest is the NuForce AVP17. Auditioning equipment is pretty much out of the question so I was wondering how this product stacks up against other products from Rotel, NAD, Parasound, Outlaw, Integra, etc. From what info I have been able to gather, it also seems to be about 50% cheaper than other brands. Reading specs is like reading a foreign language. Is it a good product and what do the the other brands have to justify the price difference? Thanks in advance for any input or advice.

i have had B&K and the nuforce (currently)
the B&K needs a repair and is an old school processor without the sacd/dvda inputs. i WILL say it is transparent as hell but so is the nuforce. i only use the nuforce for video switching in the stereo anyway but will one day try the proper hookups.
i run stereo dynaquad for surround sound and all sources can be in sourround this way. i know some of my mc music may sound better hooked up in actual mc mode but the ambience extraction of the dynaquad is fine most of the time.
