Sounds great, not too warm or too bright, plenty of power for my Axiom m22's and HSU STF-2. To me, it sounds a bit better than the Yamahas, Sonys, and Pioneers I tested in this price range. I found the sound between it and the H/K 330 to be about the same. I chose the Onkyo, because I think the new H/K's are butt-ugly. I found the Denons in this price range to be a little too warm. The Onkyo's got all the basic needed A/V features plus some rather nice ones such as two modes of nighttime listening--EXTREMELY useful at 11p.m. in an apartment with the woman sleeping in the next room! The only irritating thing is that it's not real user-friendly. I really had to take some time to figure everything out. The remote sucks, and the manual is not well written at all. Still, the sound is what ultimately matters, and for $400, I definitely feel I got my money's worth. Fight on 'SC! Three-Pete Baby!
