What a bargain

Got this little baby the day after I got my 40" Samsung series 6 telly.
My local sony centre won't have them until the middle of august.
Easy to set up. the room callibration mic works a treat. I've had my old Denon for 10 years so the quality and sheer oomph that the hdmi and digital media port provides is just stunning.
I was able to bi wire my mains by using the little clip in connections too.
Stuck on "Serenity" upscaled to 1080i. The scene at the start when the ship is entering a planets atmosphere made me feel like I was being pressed into the sofa by a rabid rotweiller.
A fantastic entry level amp with singing crisp treble and tight punchy bass.
Why pay more.
