Matt:
I've never been pleased with the surround mixes that are included SACDs. They are just unrealistic & gimmicky with instrument sounds coming from all corners of the room.
The best way to listen to them IMO is good old 2 CH Stereo where the soundstage is to the front where it should be...

bridgman:
My Audyssey does more than just level match - it also applies some EQ to each speaker (if required) to try to flatten out the room response.
It works very well for me but not everyone likes the results...

brwsaw is right when he says "which meets or excedds (double) the 400 w stated.
this is in order to get the maximum available dynamic range that is possible to reproduce with the equipment. Then, there is no weak link, but an optimum match.

I have been playing with an Intel Atom D2700 HTPC box and finally got it working well. Running a flavor of Ubuntu, I can get a copy of FooBar 2000 running and output though the Optical port while at the same time, have XBMC playing a video and output the sound through the HDMI.
This may sound pointless but I noticed that the better Pre-Amp solutions from Yamaha allows you to output a digital optical connection out to your Zone 2/3/4 ... a feature that I have not found in any of the receivers that for some reason only let you output an analog signal. So this would let me centralize out the audio so that you can listen to any music in any part of the house without limiting the ability to watch a movie in the media room.
The thought of getting a proper pre-amp is getting getting more thought and consideration all the time now.

That would be HUGE for me. I regularly use zone 2 and am often frustrated by the necessity of having an analog signal.
