I think Matthew neglected to mention that they weigh quite a lot. The weight is from
premium components, and not from steel plates
and other such nonsense that some manufacturers put in their products to create
the impression of substance.

I was wondering about the power of the two new amps. I know that they are 200 Watts/channel, but is it more like a traditional measurement, or is it a deceivingly low value like with the 1050 having 65, but can drive very clean sound at surprisingly high levels?

I can crank it *extremely* loud. I don't have any 200 watt receivers to compare it to, but in anything but the largest rooms I don't think you'll find yourself underpowered. I mean, earbleeding loud. I usually run at around -20 volume, for loud listening, or 30 dB below max.
