After auditioning many receivers, I purchased the Pioneer Elite 54tx on-line. Considering all the features on the other amps that were equal to or better that I will not use, this was the best choice for me. I will get it next week and solicit advice on whether to get 2 QS8's in the back or 2 2ti, to complete the 7.1 of the 60's fronts, 150 center,and 2qs8 sides. The Denon and Yamaha I sampled sounded great and the Pioneer 55 was terrific also but lacked DolbyIIx which I wanted, thus the 54tx, which has THX and DolbyIIx plus more power but no I-link. Since I will wait on a new TV and DVD that will probably have HDMI, the latest and best connectivity, I could pass on I-link
