I'm sure most of them are great receivers, but I kind of like the idea of one made by a "boutique" manufacturer like Outlaw or Emotiva from the U.S. (although who knows, they might be made right along side Yamaha, Denon, etc). For me, great customer service is key as I am sure to have questions and would pay extra for that type of help and support. The Marantz SR5001 is also on my short list for my wife's sake, I think she would listen to the XM radio if we had it in the house, and also it has the HDMI hook-ups. Just want something a little different to go with my great speakers.
