A suburb of NYC. Believe it or not... if I go to a site and put the zip in and look for dealers, the closest one shows up in NJ or something, a bit far away to go just to try an amp. And the store with the other amps and speakers I'd wanna try is, of course, on the other side of NJ. :|

Cheaper Yamaha receivers are ass at pushing 5 channels at once(a few sites've tested them at about 39 watts with all channels pushed). The 1400 and 2400 are different. Best Buy and Circuit City are the suck, no selection at all.
