[QUOTE="bazzz, post: 405684, member: 71220"] I guess it depends how much difference you really think different amplifiers make. Despite what some manufacturers would like you to believe, the task of amplifying an electrical signal (and maybe converting it from a digital format) isn't quite rocket science. I'm sure the choice of speakers is more important. So long as the amplifier can supply sufficient power to drive the speakers, I'd be surprised if there is much difference in terms of sound. You can usually get great deals on the previous generation of Sony receivers whenever they bring out a new model line (which happens quite frequently).
