Or will be once the package arrives. After exhaustive online research this receiver is the only logical choice for me; frees up funds for 340SEs vs 170SEs, too. Such a painful process but taking into account perceived performance, the liklihood of no improvement in SQ when spending less than $1k for a similar analog receiver and quickly changing technology I've been
swayed.

One thing: can anyone comment on SQ when bi-amping the XR-55?
