    What do you look for when buying a receiver?

    Okay, so what 1 item is most important to you (right now).

    Your opinion of perceived sound quality is NOT an option here. Everybody believes they have found the best sounding receiver. Maybe everyone has. Let's just assume nobody knowingly buys the 2nd best sounding receiver they can afford...if it sounds the best, there should be a reason for it.

    There's more to it than a subjective opinion of sound quality...let's identify it. What is important to you? What do you look for when choosing a new receiver? What are you looking at now as the most important aspect of your new a/v receiver?

    Is it power? Input/output connection flexibility? Video conversion/HDMI? Something else?

    I think these results will show the different reasons people buy receivers for.

    I'm asking everyone to pick 2 options only...on your honor, just to make this somewhat useful...

    If there's something I've omitted, well, vote anyway, then add it.
