A friend (one of my audio dealer buddies) had one floating around. He dropped it off for me to spend some quality time with. I put it in my hifi system, and spent about 2 weeks listening to it. It was an amp, I think a 700 series??? Lots of power as I recall...about 150+ watts / channel. I found it built solidly, plenty of power, but squarely aimed at HT. While I like HT, my main focus is music. I think the amp would be a good HT amp, but for music I found it lacking. I believe the company is aiming for the HT market, so in that realm, they have succeeded. I have heard of HT folks claiming to enjoy the AV receiver in the lineup, but I have not had the opportunity to listen.

As the original poster was aiming for an audio system, this would not fit my requirements if it were me making the decisions.
