Hifi Choice said this was AV receiver of the year in it's price bracket. I know who I'd believe... (myself...failing that, Hifi Choice over What Hifi anyday of the month/year/decade)
I'll tell you something chaps. I really do think this amp looks the bee's knee's. I keep going back to the web-site to take a look at it.
They gave the amp 3/5 for features, but it's only missing DTS 96/24 and Ultra 2. Everything else looks to be there. And there's also a THX Ultra 2 software upgrade comming soon.
Also VMax, for £1399 I can take 4/5 for sound. It's gotta be better than my aging Denon AVC-A1.
I'm gonna be looking around for a week or two. I'll keep you posted.
