Thanks guys. Definitely, music is my main focus. The HK and the NAD certainly peak my interest, and I am leaning that way. If the Panasonic had a 6 channel pre-out, it would go to the top of the list (because of price). That way I could still use my Luxman to drive the 80's, and the onboard amps for centre & surround. Although, I could be misguided in thinking that the amp portion of the Panasonic just won't cut it.
