    I'll second that Even putting out little or no power they run pretty warm compared to a stereo amp.. It's no doubt due to all those channels in close quarters

    Like Jon says, plenty of room & fresh air

    The DSP-E800 runs quite cool, it does not have amplifiers for the main channels, and if you pass the centre channel to your main system (via spreading it to your R & L front) the only grunt it's doing is amplifying the rear surrounds.

    Good tip Will. Just started bidding on a Yamaha.
    If i dont win that one theres plenty more. I guess everyone wants hdmi and blue ray sound these days.

    HDMI for pictures definately

    24 bit lossless sound is something to behold

    The HDMI's not an issue as one just connects the source device's HDMI directly to the TV (as long as you have enough HDMI sockets on your TV), with audio switched off, i suppose it would be nice to use it as the switching centre rather than the TV, but sending the video directly to the TV rather than via the decoder (and out again) will probably give a better image IMHO.

    However it does mean you need twice the cables, an HDMI to the TV, and a toslink to the decoder for each input device.

    Full HD DTS on the other hand would be nice, but until someone comes out with an upgraded equivalent of the DSP-E800, I'll live with 'standard' DTS.

    I could go for an audiolab AV processor and another stereo amp for the rear channels, but I'd rather put that money towards a full 1080p projector...when they get a bit cheaper.

    I have a Panny 42" 1080/24 Plasma & a Sanyo 720p Z5 at the moment, and although both are very good, I believe my sound quality outstrips my image quality at the moment.
    Cheers, Will

    Will, you are not making life easy for yourself

    Simply purchase a player with built in decoders onboard & with 5.1 or 7.1 audio output & then you just need to control the volume of all channels at once.

    No more upgrading amplifiers just because they have brought out an even newer version of HDMI or some new fangled DTS or whatever

    Ah but you're assuming I only care about surround sound from my blu-ray player...

    I also enjoy it from SKY HD, and Freeview HD too, so it's easier to channel all my AV audio into one central multi channel decoder, and rear surround amp.

    75% (probably more) of my viewing is either music or sky sports, cricket and football are broadcast in DD too
