Not trying to crap, but if sony recievers are pretty crappy. On that site the HK AVR135 is a way better reciever for only a bit more, so is the Yamaha HTR5740, or a Pioneer VSXD814 or 914. You lose that 7th useless surround channel, but their arent even any movies that use it, plus you get a reciever that doesn't sound horrible with music(a known problem with sony recievers).
