Thanks again for all the replys, great board!

Finding a reciever has been an interesting quest. Now i'm considering spending $750 or so for Harmon Kardon AVR445 or 645 (65 vs 75 watts)----anybody familiar? Also, i could get the 2 year old AVR 635 for $599 (+ $118 shipping to Alaska, ouch), although it does not have HDMI and no usb.

I should order something soon to get it here in time for my M3s!

THanks,
Mike
