Thought you guys might like to read this. Clint reviewed the Onkyo sr601 and gave it a great recomendation. With all the "whats the best receiver for under 500$" questions on this board I fiqured this might give people another option, especialy when you consider the fact that the receiver drove a 4ohm load in this review.
