The 1070 is the highest quality, most thought out receiver at it's price point. You can spend less money and get HDMI and you certainly can spend more to get analog video scaling. The 1070 gets the basics right without being just a basic receiver. Sound quality, build quality, software support, and exceptional bass management should be heavily sought in this A/V world. What's your priorities?

My favorite feature with the 1070 is it's 'integrated' DVD/8ch Analog input.
