Hello i love this receiver as its the first i have owned ever im 48 and i have punished this one since i brought it in 2006 new as a complete system ,its now october 2014 the sub speaker is blown and the centre speaker as well yet the sound quality was great and when playing music set to panoramic cranked with sound hard to match for the money as well as watching movies ,i had a lot friends say how good it sounds ,as the receiver works perfectly well still i have brought new speakers accusound signature series 8.6 extra definition 200w 8ohm with active subwoofer 200w rms as i beleive the origanel speakers were under powered and broke down when turned up yet not full volume ,with these new speakers i have solved that problem and enjoy the quality of sound even more ,this receiver and new speakers now can now take the volume at full on large and each speaker turned right up its awsome and i hope to get many more years of audio pleasure out of this receiver and the new speakers that sound so good .
Steve
