Tell me about it. The receiver I really want is like $3000. For now I stick with mid range Harman Kardon receivers. I actually got a good deal on my 5.1 on ebay. I am trying to win a similar version of my current one that is HDMI until I get a good paying job where I can afford to buy a house with a dedicated room to all my audio/video needs and get that high, high end shit
