My neighbor recently replaced a B&K 125W/Ref 20 system with Yamaha RX-Z11 $5K receiver. All I can say is that is the BEST testimony ever for separates. WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP. The sound is $#!^. He is trying to make it work...working on set ups but it is the harshest most fatiguing sound I have heard.

He has desroyed the BEST HT I ever saw!
