Technics SA-AX6 Receiver

Pros: Great features
Cons: Poor current prices/can you even find it?

I bought this system back in Oct of 98 for $550 and still have it today. The reason I bought it was because I was headed overseas and I wanted to have the most up-to-date features (when I heard 6 Bridges Road by the Eagles on DTSCD, I feel in love with...

Pros: Durable amp... Room for Expandability
Cons: I paid too much

Pros: Good price and performance
Cons: No Digital Dolby or DTS built in

Pros: Powerful, very nice
Cons: Lack AC-3, DTS decoder

Pros: Price, overall quality, ease of use
Cons: a little bit of amp hiss, not too bad at loud volumes though only quiet volume

Overall I really love this combo....paired with the SC500H encoder. Being seperate means you get 2 power supplies instead of one and that's always a plus in my mind. The sound beat out my old Onyko receiver which cost just as much and didn't sound nearly...
