Seen this unit on sale for 1200 CAD. Is it worth it or should a person stay away from Sony. I hear the ES line is not what it has been in the past. On the Canadian site for Sony it has a listed price for 1799cad while the American site is listed at 1999 in American dollars. Any other models to suggest within the $1-2k range for a receiver hooked up to Paradigm Monitor 11's and CC290 for speakers and a Panasonic 50" Pz85. All inputs will be appreciated.
