Those added x-over points for the sub/mains and 192khz dac's are a nice upgrade. However, notice that the heat sinks may not be turned horizontally, which could lead to better heat dissipation form vertically casted ones???

I was considering picking up this reciever. I am a newbie to the A/V market and I was wondering if this is a good buy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I live in Canada and this reciever goes for roughly 2200 dollars here. I was wondering if anyone knows another reciever with roughly the same features as this one in the same price range (1200 USD). The Pioneer VSX-45TX seems comparable in features but lacks the same power output, also, the NAD T762 looks like it would do just nicely but unfortunatly I will not be able to audition this amp because it would have to be ordered in. Your opinions are welcome and thanks for reading.
