That is just the feedback I was looking for. I am interested to hear if anyone else really finds great value in independent BM. It sounds great on paper, but does it add that much practically?

Orginally, I was looking H/K, either 630 or 7300. However, the H/K 7300 is huge (20.5 inches deep)! I am not sure if video upconversion is worth the money either. So many options these days. I have a 10 year old sony right now that does Dolby PL, but has no subwoofer out and does not do 5.1. I would like my next receiver to last the next 10 years, anyway.
