What are your speakers?
...old Lexicon became obsolete. Since I had a 7.1 system, I needed a processor like the Rotel that could handle all the cd/dvd formats that were available along with the conversion of 5.1 to a 7.1 set up, and this baby does it very well. While it was pretty expensive, I found a dealer demo that included a full factory warranty and it was about 30% less than the regular price, and you can't find these discounted anywhere, at least I couldn't.

I remember posting about it and asking for advice about what to buy next, and I'm pretty sure it was Jim Clark who sent me the info on the Rotel. I also got a nice pile of $ on the old Lexicon when I sold it on e-bay.
