GOOD PRICE! Looked at these for similar features but ended up with the Denon AVR-X3200w as having previously had both brands (and onkyo) I have always rated the EU brands over yamy's. Also the addition of MultEQ XT is nice :)
Anyone wanting to price match my price I picked it up for 1350 @ Videopro can post receipt if wanted!
