Hello Rob B! This is my first post and I am a new Outlaw. I purchased the 970/7125 combo in July to replace a Yamaha receiver that disappointed us for some time. Our 970/7125 has been getting a workout daily since the day it has arrived for music, movies and TV. When my wife and I arrive home from work it's music time while we cook together and we crank it up! It sounds absolutely awesome and blows away our Yamaha RX-V1800 that it replaced. After dinner we watch TV with the 970 in Pro Logic II-cinema mode and it is just great with the way it handles the audio. On the weekends, it's home theater time. We love action movies and the 970/7125 delivers in spades. It's going on 4 months of daily heavy use and we have not had any problems, bugs or hiccups at all. The stuff works flawless and is worth every dime.
