If you want to stick with Sony, Crutchfield has the STR-DG1200 for $300 off, $599. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_158STD1200/Sony-STR-DG1200.html?c=4  I got it but I can't tell you how good it is yet because I don't get my Aperion speakers until Saturday. If you do buy something from Crutchfield.com though, use this referral code: ...

I only paid $74 for the full 5.1 kit from aperion. Always go to retailmenot.com for promo codes before making any online purchase. I've saved a lot of money over the years thanks to that site.

It's a good time to get into 24, get to enjoy all the episodes without waiting a week inbetween. This season was awesome up until the Tony thing... I think this may be the last season.

I just purchased the 5T Hybrid HD 5.1 setup and it hasn't been delivered yet but I'm starting to have second thoughts about my receiver. Is the Sony STRDG1200, a $900 receiver that I got for $580, good enough for this setup or will I get noticeably better quality for a few hundred more? I will be using this system for Blu Rays ...
