This is fortunate, because receivers aren't "warm"



And you have tested a lot of them out to prove this right?

Ah never mind........................it's pointless. According to JohnK, all receivers sound the same folks. Get to Wal Mart and pick up that $129.00 model that is on sale this week. It will sound just as good as the ones costing $1000.00 or $2000.00 or more.
