Hello Everyone,

Like a lot of us, I am in the market for a new receiver. The price range I am looking at is around the $1000.00 area. My question... How important is it (for future-proof insurance) to get a receiver with an ethernet jack. My concern is spending a lot of money now and in two years I will again have to upgrade. Is it worth it right now to push the budget a bit or wait until the Master HD and DTS HD prices come down on higher end receivers.

PS: I am aware of the Onkyo 605 but I need more power.

Thanks!!
