yeah, i know, it's 2011 and here i am writing this review nine years later. bought new in 2002 and the beast still works great! i treat it like a baby, not one scratch on this receiver. looks as if it just came out of the box. and the sound is still incredible. oh. i'm sure there are much better receivers out there today, but i wouldn't trade up for any one of them. this unit is a keeper forever. play my bose 601 three's that i bought in1987, and they're like brand new condition. very satisfied, thank you.

clean - powerful - well detailed sound through my JBL 4333 studio monitors - user friendly with nice options - no HDMI but has good digital in and outs
