RobbythePat - Looks quite good however I went for the Pioneer!
Kazman - Thanks also. I have as I mentioned gone for the Pioneer. I own the Denon UD-M30 which is the only Denon I have owned and it is a very capable little CD Receiver. I have always rated Denon generally, but I'm too impatient.
gudjong - Too high.
paul1672 - Nice piece of kit but again too high. It won't fit in my Rack.
royster - I take delivery of the unit on Monday. QED seemed to take their time in shipping even though they said it was in stock. It might be me but I'm used to ordering on an evening and it being shipped the following day. However it's on it's way.
The only disappointing thing is that they use "Initial City Link" which IMO are the pits in terms of courier.
I went to audition some Bose Acoustimass® 10 and 15 today and if I'm honest wasn't that impressed. I blame the guy who demoed the system though. It was teamed up with a NAD DVD player and it kept skipping like a 6 year old school girl playing hopscotch. So, it's perhaps a little unfair. The Bass was provided by the AM15 Sub and was far too much for the small room. All I could hear was a drone throughout some scenes which just annoyed me. The Bass didn't seem to cut off quickly at all. However, when the Bass was not really being used the speech from the centre speaker etc was clear and concise. Action scenes just turned into a loud mess but I blame the demo. Wasn't conducted very well at all. I need to demo the Anthony Gallo offering ASAP, but where?
Anyway, I've gone off on one and I'm glad you think the receiver is very good. It sounds like I will be satisfied.
Singh - Looks okay. But I've done the deed.
