A few caveats---very minor IMHO at this pricepoint: no pre-outs (would negate the whole point of a digital amp after all), subwoofer crossover only down to 80Hz, no room speaker EQ, primitive remote, no digital outputs, no OSD (onscreen display). Also may not be the best choice if you have lousy, overly bright speakers.

Just as some folks still prefer LPs to CDs and tubes to solid state, you might decide to stick with an analog receiver, I'll make no guarantees. But it's definitely worth hearing it to make up your own mind, in any case...it's a whole different animal!

Some other receivers in your price range;

1. Pioneer VSX 1015X (379)
2. HK AVR 240 ( 350$)

Or you could go on ebay and have a choice of anything at all sorts of prices ( Picked up an Onkyo myself for 80 bucks a few months back)
