thanks for the ideas. I was curious about the hk 1001 because supposedly as an all digital receiver it is smaller and runs with much less heat. I liked those because our current stereo cabinet is pretty packed with a Dish Network PVR, a CD player, VCR etc. I'm not sure I can fit in a bigger receiver than the one I've got now. Njackson, you said it was underpowered for movies. Were you really cranking out the sound or listening at "normal" levels? We don't really listen to movies at theater level because my 9 year old daughter's room is right over that room and because I don't think the neighbors would appreciate it.
