This beast you can find from $1,200 to $1,500 or so roughly.
It has Audyssey MultEQ XT32, and is Audyssey MultEQ Pro Ready.
It has six 32-bit/192kHz Stereo DACs (TI BB PCM-1795), three high performance TI Aureus DSP chips, four transformers, and weights 55 pounds.

There is this guy, an Hollywood professional film recording/mixer engineer, and he's using that exact same receiver in his own high end home theater sound system (with high quality speakers and subwoofers). And this guy's all about sound quality! ...Not froot loops movies here, but big/major/serious Hollywood blockbuster movies.
And not only that, but without any additional amplification!

Just thought of letting you know.

________________

High End A/V receivers (2012-2013); my own picks (by price, most expensive first):

1. Onkyo TX-NR5010 (no need for Integra; they are 97% the same, but the Onkyos cost less)
2. Onkyo TX-NR5009
3. Onkyo TX-NR3009 (the TX-NR3010 is not available in our continent)
4. Denon AVR-4520CI
5. Denon AVR-4311CI

* All of the above have Audyssey MultEQ XT32, and are Audyssey MultEQ Pro Ready.

Looks like i am shopping this weekend.
