This receiver is absolutly the best looking receiver everI have the cd-1020 from marantz as well, they are from the slim line
+ Tanoy M2 Speakers

Bevore i had a NAD amplifier some times i mis my NAD if i'm lisining to some cold electronic music,

But the SR-1041 is a very good overall Receivers with some hi-tec stuff
if you lissen a lot of clasic music or other "Real" instrumets it is a very good receiver

A he is very good looking
