ya i had been looking around for a while, i had enough of my sony, i was considering getting a pre/pro but thought i would get better value with a high end receiver especially since my amp is only 5 ch and i want to eventually move to 7 ch but i dont want to get another 2 ch amp

I still think that ultimately, it would have been better to get a good Pre/Pro now and a 2 channel Power amp later. No question in my mind that you would have had better sound from your system. Using the receiver is a waste of the amps and electricity. Also, in the future, had you had a really good 2 channel amp, you could have used it alone if you were listening to channel sound with better sound reproduction and a much lower expenditure of electricity.

...manufacturer listed specs don't always tell the whole story. Not to mention you'd have to double overall wattage to notice any significant difference.

What it comes down to is overall quality, and Pioneer Elite makes some of the finest in the world.

A google shows broadwayphoto.com selling it for $1059 plus $67 for shipping but I am not familiar with the company. Vanns lists it for $1800 which makes your deal much better.
