I got one for my Dad a few months ago due to it being about the best bang for the buck receiver I could come up with. It also has some great components inside which also set it apart from other receiver's in its price range.
Over xmas I got to set everything for him, very impressed with it, great sound, the onboard guide is more then he will ever need but is very fast and snappy with alot of features.

Also a home run review from a very trusted source, you made the right choice lol.
Boxing day he was all interested in a subwoofer for whatever reason (He noticed Visions had a over priced (MSRP) discontinued polk sub that matched the line of Polk's I suggested him to get. Did some digging and if "I" were buying a new sub nothing at FS/BB really tickled my fancy. Got onto Londondrugs and they have a smoking deal on a Tannoy TSs.12
I don't think I could find anything better for $400 bucks, was that or just do a reg cheaper polk or klipsch (not that he would know the diff)

Listed as one of the best subs from 1k to 4k so anyone looking keep an eye out for one of these, might suit your needs and style.
