    Got this receiver because it was one of the very few AVRs that would fit in a 12" cabinet. It was replacing an earlier model with which I was very satisfied. No surprises or strange problems. A solid receiver that does what it says it does. Add in 2nd room capability (I need the 7.1 for my family room) and you go from good to excellent.
