Two beers later...
My apologies to anyone I may have offended with the immolation joke.
Now, my first instinct is to shiver like a junkie and run downtown tomorrow and buy something just to keep myself from going into AV withdrawal. Someone talk me out of this, please. I need to take my time, do my research, and (only then) make an informed, semi-objective purchase. So, the budget is $1K, give or take. I'd like something I can keep for several years, and I'd prefer it was something that didn't occasionally make my house smell like a chemical fire. Tell me why I don't want to save $300 or more and buy an RX-V2400 instead of a Denon unit.
